celandine New Member United Kingdom 3 Posts	Posted 06/16/2018 4:19 pm Hi, I've been sorting through an inherited and very assorted box, and 3 items are proving a mystery. No idea who the first one is. The middle one seems most like things that are way older than is likely and the bottom one is particularly annoying not to identify, we just can't work out what it says. Can anyone help? * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Someone else? Recommend kicking that one over to the Ancients/Medieval board for some of the Roman collectors to chime in. Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 06/16/2018 8:01 pm No exact match for #3 here (although the second one, below, is very similar) but perhaps a starting point for your research: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=4514308 https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3073084 https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3073085 Edited by Kamnaskires 06/16/2018 8:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff

celandine New Member United Kingdom 3 Posts	Posted 06/17/2018 04:12 am Brilliant, thanks so much! #1 - interesting that it could be 4th century Roman as a couple of the other coins match that. Still can't find a match but I'll follow this up. #3 - fantastic, it looks as though this is a 16th century Nu"rnberg "Venuspfennig". Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 06/17/2018 09:06 am FYI, regarding #1, the MNOSTR of CAESARVM NOSTRORVM is legible around the wreath... Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 06/18/2018 01:18 am With Bob L's help, I think the first coin pictured is of a 4th century Roman bronze AE3 (c/- 19mm), of Constantine 11 (AD 337-340) Obv. CONSTANTINVS.IVN.NOB.C Laureate and cuirassed bust left. Rev. CAESARUM NOSTORVM surrounding circular laurel wreath, inside of which is VOT.X Speculatively, it could well be from Roman occupation British mint.

celandine New Member United Kingdom 3 Posts	Posted 06/18/2018 5:38 pm Fantastic - I can make out/imagine the text now I know what to look for. A British origin is entirely possible. The coins were collected by someone British, but I don't know where or how any of them was acquired. Many thanks everyone. Report this Post to the Staff
