extant coins at Museum of London

It's the third one here I'm most interested in. Not surprisingly, it's Venetian:

Post period, but very interesting gold Venetian coin:

Here is a cast bronze venetian medal, a completely different process than coining:

Something completely different: 
Glass flask with a portrait of Henry VII, King of England with the King's emblem of portcullis and chains in a sunburst From Venice, Italy, around AD 1500

I'd love to make this too, but I haven't even started learning to work with glass other than some lamp work beading.
