P.P. - The closest 'attribution' I have been able to come up with for your coins is . . . . . .

Roman Republican Coins of a Student and his Mentor
Triens circa 217-215, Æ 51.29 g. Diademed female head right; behind, four pellets. Rev. Hercules fighting centaur, holding his hair in l. hand and club in r.; before, four pellets. Sydenham 93. Crawford 39/1.

I hope this helps.

TC thanks. I have seen this coin before and although mine is different there are similarities. After Christmas I might put it back in soak and see if I can get more details.

All the examples of the coin that TC mentioned seem to be the same, no variations. I can see possibly one pellet on the obverse and possibly two on the reverse.

Chrsmat, now try and "un-see" the centaur!
