Hallo to everyone

 

I aquired a number of coins, I believe mostly Roman, where I have difficulty with Identification. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

1. 32.7mm, 24g, likely brass or bronze (Mostlikely N#255014, Thanks Frenchlover)

 

2. 29-31mm, 24,5g, has been identified, is 

N#260868 

 

3. 31mm, 21,4g (There has been a suggestion from robmax that this might be N#264416, any other suggestions?)

 

4. 32,5-33,5mm, 22,5g, identified ashttps://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/4/3412 .

 

5. 29mm, 19,5g (It has been sugegsted that is might be Ptolemaic Egypt, will have a closer look, thanks Creole68W) This one is N#386232  . Awesome, thanks for the Inputs. 

 

6. 22,6mm. 14,0g Identfied as https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/type/2530 .

 

 

8. 26mm, 8g  identified as N#251208 

 

9. 21,4mm, 5,7g

 

10. Silver, 19,8-20,6mm, 3,6g (this one can be found here N#280270  , thanks cro321)

 

Enough Roman for now, there are more to follow later. 

 

Here are some coins I believe are Ancient Greek, Persian and Bysantian.

 

43. 16,6mm, 3,7g silver

 

44. Believe it is Persian, 17,4-19mm, 3,1g silver, identified as N#378676 

 

45. Also a Persian coin? 10,5-11,1mm, 1,0g

 

 

 

47. Porcelan, perhaps Chinese or Japanese, if a coin at all. 22mm and 3,6g (This one has been identieds as N#230459, Thanks rsirian1)

 

48. Indian, Afghanistan or somewhere there? 17,6-18,7mm 12,3h, brass or bronze or Copper (Seeker55 has suggested IndianStates Orchha or Datia, will invetsigate more, thank you)

 

49. Same here. 22 1mm 11,3g, identified as https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=98900 

 

50. Believe Bysantian, 33,3mm and only 4 1g silver (Has been idenitied as N#417681, Thanks robmax for your many suggestions)

 

51. 28-28,9mm, 8,9g, identified as https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=4471915 

 

52. 28.6-29.6mm, 14,0g, identified as https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=9788752 

 

53. 25.9-26,9mm, 4,4g identified as https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=10095214 

54. Concave 28,2-28,6mm, 4,4g

55. 25,8-26,2mm, 3,2g, concave

56. Concave 21,4-22,1mm, 3,3g

57. 25,3mm, 3,4g concave

58. Concave, 26mm, 3,4g

 

Looking forward to your Feedback

47 is a Siamese Gambling token. Here's one with the same text on the reverse.  N#427319

 

Edit: Actually it's this one.  N#230459

Fantastic, 1 down. 

 

Thank you so much.

This is real interesting. Usually I don't care about tokens but I wouldn't mind having one of these. 😃

 

Just to help with the rest of the coins no 10 is: N#280270

I collect and deal in ancient Roman coin. In case you're looking for affordable ancient coins or need any help with the coins you already have send me a message.

1) I bet you didn't make any research on “Hadrian, sesterce, victory”

N#255014

Referee of south atlantic islands

#5 is likely Ptolemaic Egypt.

Number 50 looks like a Sasanian silver drachm.  Compare it to this one from Khusro II (591-628):

 

N#417681

For number 3 I suggest Faustina the Younger:

 

N#264416

Number 48 shows a stylized cannon, which is indicative of either Orchha or Datia state in India. 

Here are some suggestion on some of the identifications, any confirmations?

 

Nr. 2 might be this one? N#260868

 

Is nr. 48 perhaps this coin? N#62344

 

Thanks

Hard to tell from photos but take a closer look at these. One of them should be your Ptolemaic #5 from the sizes.

I believe that number 49 (not 48) has been correctly identified with the Jaisalmer link. Your coin appears to show the date 1143, regnal year 13. 

No 8 are you sure that obverse goes with the reverse? I'm asking since the obverse looks 4th century while the reverse if a very rare design used in the 1st century. 

 

No 43 appears to be a tetradrachm of Alexander the Great. There are lifetime and posthumous issues by his successors.  My knowledge of these coins is very limited so you'll have to find someone that collects these to figure out the exact variety. My guess is that the mint mark B (?) in the left field on the reverse is key to solving it.

Great spot on Nr 8. The two does not match. I will add the correct pictures above,  in the mean time,  here they are.

My concern with this one, even though the Design fits, the Dates dont. The Website Shows all to have a 22 date, as you pointed out, the coin is 13. At a bit of a loss in that regard.

Found a better match for coin 49 that explains the lack of a RY 22. It's a rupee of Muhammad Shah, Shahjahanabad (Delhi) mint, AH 1143/RY 13.

#44 is clearly a Parthian drachm, not sure on the ruler.

 

#54 to 58 are Byzantine Trachy, can't say more than that.

For #58 the figure obverse is Mary rather than Christ, which might help narrow the choices.

Thanks, will search further. 👍🏻🍺

I think I've found #44, N#378676 

 

 

And before I forget, please don't delete the photos of your previously identified coins. Mark them as solved but keep the photos.

Not only for future reference for you and others, but also there are cases that your coin may be in better state than the one in our catalog page.

Great point, will add them again. 

 

Appreciate you finding this coin.
