Hi, My name is Abbi,

I've been collecting old coins for years and thought it was about time I tried to figure out these 3 coins I've had

I am hopeful that I can find someone who would be able to help me to identify these 3 old coins I have.


Thank you very much

Need photos of other side of coins. Weight, diameter?

Seeing the other side and knowing weight and diameter will help to narrow down the possibilities.

From what I can see, I think the leftmost coin is an antoninianus issued by Tetricus I, a usurper emperor of the Gallic Empire, in 271-274 AD.

The rightmost coin gives the impression of a barbarous imitation of an antoninianus.

The left is Tetricus I. The right looks like Gallienus. The middle might be Constantinian. What's on the back will probably confirm.

They could also be "barbarous imitations" - contemporary replicas of ancient coins, made by people living on the fringe of Imperial territory, or in areas were regular coinage supply was hard to obtain.

The extra-long neck on the coin on the right looks particularly barbaric to me.

It is a very long neck, although Gallienus does often have a long neck https://en.numista.com/forum/topic76558.html
