dwayne8625 Pillar of the Community United States 582 Posts	Posted 01/09/2017 10:31 pm First coin looks like MaximinusII with Moneta holding scales. EDIT: not sure from pics but it could say, MAXIMINVS NOB CAES on obverse and SAC MON VRB AVGG ET CAESS NN on the reverse Edited by dwayne8625 01/09/2017 10:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16829 Posts	Posted 01/09/2017 11:03 pm The second coin is not ancient. I think it's a "Dutch garden" duit from the 1600s. Several Dutch provinces issued duits depicting a female figure seated inside a fenced "garden". Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
jc_hicks New Member United States 34 Posts	Posted 01/10/2017 12:20 am Awesome! Thanks, everyone. With that information I was able to narrow it down to a Maximinus II, AE follis, Carthage. AD 305-306. I was looking in a different empire. Report this Post to the Staff

With the information you gave me, I was able to pin it to a 1571-1579 2 Duit. I found an article on them, but wasn't able to find any for sale to compare it to. Thanks again for all of the info!
