I found two Coins while I was digging the grave in an old cemetery. I am from Bosnia and Herzegovina (Europe). Coins look like they are Byzantine. Can anyone help me with more information? thanks

Wow! I'm so darn jealous. Terrific finds are being posted from that part of the world. Best we can hope for here is a couple hundred years. The cemetery part is intriging.

They are not Byzantine and, unfortunately, they are not genuine coins. These are modern cast replicas of ancient Greek coins. The one on the left is a copy of a silver tetradrachm of king Demetrius I of Macedonia; the one on the right appears to be a copy of a tetradrachm from Ptolemaic Egypt.

Who will copy coins and bury them 1.5 meters into the ground to find them someone once?! In any case, thanks for the information ..
