This one, I was stuck between attributions. Any thoughts? Constantine II AE3 Obverse: CONSTANTINVS NN NOB C Reverse VOT V inside wreath Aquileia Ric VII 95? Heraclea Ric VII 63?  This one, I *think* it's Constantine II? My eyes are getting super bad:  Is this one King Herod Agrippa? No lettering I can see.  Widow's Mite?  On these, I can't make out most or any of the lettering (the first one, I can pick out one or two, but not many). If anyone can see the lettering, or even know the emperor to get me started, it would be a big help.      |

The silver one is Gordian III. #5
The last one looks medieval. (maybe?)

I own a lot of Heraclean Constantine IIs, and the top one doesn't look like any of them - its either a seperate lineage of die cutter who have maintained a different style, or its AQS.
The very last coin is a Rose Farthing.

Ben I am just going off of the Helvetica RIC spreadsheets.
From what I can read which is CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB C and VOT/V/star it sorts out only Heraclea and Thessalonica. Heraclea is the only one that lists the laureate, draped and curaissed bust right. While it isn't a 100% I made an educated guess.

#3 is definitely a prutah of agrippa.

If it helps, Charles I is the only person who issued Rose Farthings. If you want to try and pin down the type, you'll probably need to clean it a bit. Heres some ID help.It may be Heraclea. The best indicator for Heraclea is the shape of the bust as it hits the base of the die which is pretty solid - the drapery is consistent, as is the tassels behind the laurel, but the hair line and chin are something I havent seen on a Heraclean coin. The eyebrow is a bit off too, but they vary even with single die cutters. |
