Hi all,
I need help with these couple of coins, any help would be very welcome with these mystery coins.

This one looks on the face to be an Athenian Tet but I'm leaning towards it being a counterfeit. Maybe a barbarous copy?

Alexandria, Ptolemaic? The reverse is a mystery to me.

Coins 4 & 5 appear to be Roman Provinical. If you can provide larger images it would make it easier to ID them.

I think #3 might be Elgabalus but I'm not 100%.

Here's the diameters/weights for all of them. I should have put them up with the first post but it was late and I had been writing an a mind numbing legal brief so my brain was jello.

#1 12mm, 1.92g
#2 11mm, 1.85g
#3 16mm, 2.28g
#4 18mm, 4.46g
#5 15mm, 1.72g

Haven't had any luck with #4 yet. The bust reminded me of Nero a bit but I'm sure that isn't right. I'll keep looking.

Perhaps #1 is a fractional silver coin from Athens--diobol or hemidrachm? I think I see an owl, but I'm unsure what they look like.

These coins are proving to be a challenge, I still haven't been able to pin point the two provincials to any degree of certainty.
