Would be grateful for assistance in identification if possible as I want to put them on ebay to help fund the next buy :) (if they are worth anything) 1) Weight: 3g Diameter: 29.5mm ( note with it saying Norther Sung, Che Tsung 1086 - 1100) 2) Weight: 18g Diameter: 28mm 3) Weight: 4g Diameter: 20mm (note with it saying Gratian AD 367-383) 4) Weight: 2g Diameter: 11mm ( note with it saying Pisidia Belge 3/2nd BC) * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Next is a sestertius of Volusian the reverse is CONCORDIA AVGG (it shows the god Concordia, symbolic of concord or agreement). Next could be Gratian or Magnus Maximus, with Gratian being more common. The reverse is REPARATIO REIPVB - the restoration of the republic. It shows the emperor holding Victory on a globe (symbolising Romes ownership of the world) and raising a turreted woman. The turreted headdress is usually seen on city personifications on Roman coins. I couldnt find the last, greek coin. It shows a triskelion. Report this Post to the Staff
