The reverse should give you a clue to the obverse. Do you have it in hand? Nice cleaning job for someone.

Yep, sure do :) Here is the reverse for the coin pictured on the right. I see what appears to be a counterstamp, huh, never noticed that before.

After some very careful cleaning, you might get a clue as to what the reverse is supposed to be. Take your time with it - I know it is very hard :)

I think it might be Philip II, but with being able to make out the reverse it's just a guess.

Thanks Pish and Ech. Welp, I guess I have to learn how to clean these tough ones eventually so I might as well get started reading up more on it :) I know the basics, but when the surface is rock hard, it makes it more difficult. I appreciate your assistance and advice
