CajunCreole New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/06/2015 3:18 pm Hi, I'm hoping someone here will have an idea of what these coins are... First, it's an Arabic coin that is crudely made. I have not weighed it and if need be, I can. I didn't take a side view of it and probably should have as it's very uneven. I know it's silver and that's about it... I'd love to know if it's possible to tell the year of its minting, but I realize, there isn't a lot to go on. ___ Second coin is Roman and a tough one to see what's what. I'm sure it's made of copper and that's about it. If I had a guess, I'd say this is the back? The front? A different view: I truly appreciate any help on these as I have tried for years to find a picture...anything that could give me a clue and I found nothing. Thank you for your time and consideration.

CajunCreole New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/10/2015 5:29 pm Wow, that was quick! These are quite interesting... Is it just being able to read the language? I did weight it and it's 10 grams exactly. I found a site for Islamic to Gregorian date conversion. I'll look around and see what else I can find out about coin one, but thank you very much for such a quick response on the post! On to coin 2! Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16883 Posts	Posted 03/14/2015 08:08 am I'm afraid I have no further ideas on #2, except that it's more likely to be ancient Greek than ancient Roman; the Romans never used square borders like can be seen in the bottom pics.
