Hi Lenard.

Could you post a picture of each coin on its own? Perhaps a front pic and a separate picture of the reverse please?
There are thousands of pictures that show 'tourist' coins and modern 'repro' coins like the picture you have here and it does help if you take a good close picture of one at a time and post them separately so that the experts on this forum can help you.
You will never soar like an eagle if you hang around with turkeys.....

You are right, I'll do that. I was more thinking a showing several to see what they are supposed to be from. But making them small prevents identification. I'll do that tomorrow. Thanks for the advice.

These are Greek coins from Illyria. They are silver drachma's. You can search wildwinds coins to look them up. They seem to be genuine but cant tell for sure
