Looks possibly like antoniniani of Maximianus and Aurelian.

Obverse legends may be (1) IMP C M AVR VAL MAXIMIANVS P F AVG and (2) IMP AVRELIANVS AVG (perhaps similar to the one below?)

Lots of Roman experts around here...I'm sure some will help.

IMP AVRELIANVS AVG, radiate, cuirassed bust right / CONSERVAT AVG, Sol walking left, holding globe and raising right hand, treading on seated captive at foot.

Thank you for the help! Curious...either of them valuable?

Ancients are surprisingly cheap.

The Maximianius might fetch $10-15US and the Aurelian a few dollars.

Still, two authentic ancient Roman coins packed with some rich history
