Yes they are imported coinage made using a press stand. the darkening coloours you can see are added using chemically liquids. the colour can be done in a way as simple as putting a coin in a bag with a egg for tone. thank you

Are you 100 procent sure about it?

Jaquet has a good point to make.
The quality of the whole batch of these seems to be suspiciously 'consistent'!
It would be highly beneficial to have a few detailed pictures of these coins, edge on.

There is a very good article on the 'net published by
Tesorillo.com :
ES FALSO MI DENARIO?, (it IS copyrighted)
which gives very good information on how to identify fake ancient coins. A machine translation into English is available. Heavy going for the English reader, but well worth it.
There are about 35 pages of good material to read, but this rather lengthy exercise certainly helped my skills in the identification of fake ancient coins.

I would recommend all collectors of ancient coins to read it

If you are 100 procent sure theyre fakes *very well produced fakes then I shall contact the seller for refund.. But if youre not, I would take the risk because they're so nice..

They do not look right to me. I would expect to see more metal flow lines from the legends and busts. They may not be fake, but they are not a purchase I would make.
