I would like to know more regarding their age and origin and whether its real or fake! I know the top one is Hellenistic for sure! The pictures were taken by an Iphone so I had to slightly darken the color on photoshop to get the details out..only minor image edits any help would be great! Thank you!

pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 05/31/2014 4:12 pm They look real, second coin has the most fabulous colours. I am rubbish at reading/interpretting greek letters, but wildwinds has a partial word search you could try. Sometimes you have to leave spaces in the letters and it can be trial and error. http://wildwinds.com/coins/findstr.html There is also one on forvmancientcoins here http://www.romancoin.info/#FORVMS%2...end%20Search And acsearch can be good http://www.acsearch.info/ My first thought that the bottom one was Phillip I. The other guys will be along later.... Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 05/31/2014 4:57 pm to the community The first coin appears to be from Phoenicia with the bust of Tyche. I can't quite make out the reverse though. The second is a Roman provincial of believe the emperor Antoninus Pius. Report this Post to the Staff
PhoenicianX Valued Member United States 138 Posts	Posted 05/31/2014 5:05 pm Thank you for the welcome! So this is a Phoenician coin not a Hellenistic one? I forgot to mention that they were found in Lebanon..there seems to be some sort of writings underneath of what looks like to be a boat.. I can't tell if it's Phoenician or Greek Edited by PhoenicianX 05/31/2014 5:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff
