Any help identifying them would be highly appreciated and how much would a lot like this go for? Please advise! Are these authentic as well? There seems to be green patination on the second coin though Edited by PhoenicianX 01/12/2017 06:18 am Report this Post to the Staff

The last is a clipped and chipped Khusro II, the mint is WYH, for Weh-Kavad, and the regnal year is 2. This is the only RY where the pin feathers in the wings are represented by dots.
