econrad Valued Member United States 131 Posts	Posted 12/20/2018 7:01 pm I believe the first one is Roman. Second one, no clue. Third, I'm hoping someone with be able to pick out what it is. Thanks! 1. 2. 3. Report this Post to the Staff

Not much to go on, but it may be a dual obverse portrait. I would guess it may be an issue of the Artuqids of Mardin, perhaps Yuluq Arslan. Ron, Kushanshah, and Finn know that series better than me...It may be I'm just seeing things that aren't there. Report this Post to the Staff

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 12/20/2018 8:04 pm [edit: I see Bob L beat me to it!] The third coin is Islamic, a figural dirham of the Artuqid atabegs of Mardin, struck by Husam al-Din Yuluq Arslan, 1184-1200. The still-legible bit of Arabic script on the reverse names Husam al-Din's Ayyubid overlord, al-Nasir Salah al-Din Yusuf, known in the west as 'Saladin'. The two busts can still be recognized on the obverse. https://cNGCoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=266453 Edited by Kushanshah 12/20/2018 8:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 12/20/2018 11:27 pm I think the first may be Caracalla as Caesar. O: [M AVR ANTO]-NINVS CAES. R: Minerva standing left? The second seems to be an antoninianus of Aurelian. Edited by Kushanshah 12/20/2018 11:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff
