Anthonyx New Member Canada 7 Posts	Posted 01/22/2013 2:43 pm I had these posted on the identification forum to try and get some ID/info and rooneydog suggested I post these pictures here and pick your brains. He has suggested the first one could be a Porcius (89BC) and the second looks like Mark Anthony and Octavia (39BC) and then there's the third one...

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 01/22/2013 2:53 pm The second coin looks like an Augustus Quniarius, RIC 276 struck at an uncertain Italian mint, 29-27 BC. CAESAR IMP VII, bare head right / ASIA RECEPTA, Victory standing left on cista mystica between two serpents erect I have a similar coin: Give me a few minutes and I'll check on the other coins you posted.

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 01/22/2013 3:00 pm The first coin is indeed a Porcia: Porcia 11 M Cato AR Quinarius. M CATO PRO PR, head of Liber right / Victory seated right, holding palm branch over her left shoulder and patera in her right hand, VICTRIX in ex. Cr462/2. I'm trying to find a good image to post. The last coin looks Arabic, possibly Ottoman Empire, but I have no knowledge in this area of coin collecting. Report this Post to the Staff
Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 01/22/2013 3:03 pm The Islamic coin you posted looks like it might be from the Mogul rulers 15th - 16th century India. I am not an expert in these coins types but it might start there. The inscription is most likely Persian and will often have a religious verse, name of the ruler and an AH and RY date on it.

jcmworld Pillar of the Community United States 567 Posts	Posted 01/22/2013 9:51 pm BTW the scan is sideways. It should be rotated 90 degrees clockwise. Report this Post to the Staff
maridvnvm Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2100 Posts	Posted 01/23/2013 1:04 pm The Porcius looks very odd (modern?) to me. Report this Post to the Staff
Anthonyx New Member Canada 7 Posts	Posted 01/23/2013 1:57 pm The first two coins are quite thick, maybe as thick as two pennies, and the first one especially is slightly dished..concave on one side and convex on the other. The Arabic coin is flat like a modern coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 01/23/2013 2:31 pm Do you the means to weigh and measure the first two coins? Measurement should me in MM. Report this Post to the Staff
Anthonyx New Member Canada 7 Posts	Posted 01/23/2013 3:05 pm Top one is 12.8mm x 2.1mm, next is 14.2mm x 1.7mm and the last is 14.0mm x 1.8mm Sorry, I don't have a scale that accurate to weigh them... if I step on a scale while holding them or not holding them, I still weigh too much according to the doctor.
