Hi all!
Found these in a bag with a mixture of other coins from around the world... what little I found on them makes me think these are "tourist" fakes (they seem very cleanly imprinted and the designs on them don't quite match up to the other similar coins I found online) but I am definitely not an expert on coins of this type so thought I'd reach out.

Am especially interested on what anyone knows about the coin to the far right.. I couldn't find anything on it.. it's thick (easily the thickness of two pennies stacked on top of another) and heavy.
Thanks much!!
Kris

Sadly these are all fakes. The first one is supposed to be a Greek tetradrachm, the second a Roman Denarius and the last a jewish Widows Mite.

Thanks so much for confirming- I was pretty sure they were fakes, but it was exciting for a few hours thinking maybe we had accidentally stumbled on to something so old!
Also really appreciate you letting me know what that third one was! Have a great weekend!!
