These coins are outside my area of collecting so I can't comment on authenticity or value but just to get the ball rolling on identification I think this is the one on the right https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=2094800 Edited by Biancasdad 09/29/2017 04:35 am Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 09/29/2017 08:32 am The first coin purports to be of Demetrius I of Baktria, but sorry to say I not believe either of the coins are genuine. The surfaces are to porous and the overall appearance of them is not consistent with genuine examples. Report this Post to the Staff
