filip Valued Member Croatia (Locally: Hrvatska) 100 Posts	Posted 04/27/2015 04:56 am I will be thankful if somone can give more info about these coins. The first one (at least from my point of view) seems to be Roman, with the Neptune on the reverse. The inscription is written in Latin script, so, I suppose that is the Roman coin. The 2nd seems to be inscribed on the Alphabet, so I suppose that it is Greek (Macedonian?) coin. If is going to be useful, I can try to make better scans. Report this Post to the Staff
