Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 04/06/2013 5:02 pm I like the roman one. It shows a legionary eagle (a very important object - guarded with ones life - look it up, its pretty interesting the lengths that they would go to to keep them safe or retrieve one) flanked by 2 banners. I think its Caracalla but ill look it up. Probably Nicaea - they made a lot of 3 standard coins with an eagle surmounting the central one. Havent seen one like this though.

However, I relaunched my research on the second one, and finally ID'ed it.. although the "stamp" is off from the pictures I've seen, I think it's now a Malwa Sultanate, 1/2 Falus, Ruler would be Ghiyath Shah from between 1469-1500 - the only thing which appears off is directly above the "rosette" there should be a small box in the larger box of lines, rather then the right angle.. Ben - thanks.. please any info is appreciated Report this Post to the Staff
