2 - is probably Malwa (India)
3 - might just be a Takka from Kotah - what is the weight?

I like the roman one. It shows a legionary eagle (a very important object - guarded with ones life - look it up, its pretty interesting the lengths that they would go to to keep them safe or retrieve one) flanked by 2 banners. I think its Caracalla but ill look it up. Probably Nicaea - they made a lot of 3 standard coins with an eagle surmounting the central one. Havent seen one like this though.

Andyg - sorry I don't have a scale... i'll need to get one.. it does have quite a bit of weight to it..

However, I relaunched my research on the second one, and finally ID'ed it.. although the "stamp" is off from the pictures I've seen, I think it's now a Malwa Sultanate, 1/2 Falus, Ruler would be Ghiyath Shah from between 1469-1500 - the only thing which appears off is directly above the "rosette" there should be a small box in the larger box of lines, rather then the right angle..

Ben - thanks.. please any info is appreciated

The second one is a Malwa coin most likely of Nazir shah.

the second coin was ID'ed

Any more news on the first one?
