18th Century Book Plates of ancient coins - ID Help

STONE

I recently acquired 9 book plates from someone claiming they are from the 18th century. I believe they are from circa 18th century given the type and quality of the paper - described as 'laid paper'. I bought these because they are numismatic, old and pretty cool.

I've searched the internet as much as I know how for the origin of these pages, but to no avail. They have at least 2 different watermarks. Unfortunately there is no discernable writing, and what writing that can be seen appears to be in Italian or Latin (TAVOLA - at the tops of some pages).

If anyone here can identify which book these plates came from I would be so very ever grateful  

Dimensions = ~10.5 x 6.75 inches

What are the dimensions? That would be a helpful item to know to narrow down the scope of works that would need to be looked at.

I'd be inclined to say those are not ancient coins but rather rennaissance period "counterfeits" or copies in medal form

"One of the most prominent of these engravers was Giovanni de Bartolommeo Cavino, known today as Giovanni Cavino."

if this helps your search at all

Yes, it absolutely helps and may narrow the search.

I agree these look more like medals

Sir Charles Frederick is another name potentially connected to these plates...but I still can't find a match!
