Hi, I am new to this site and have recently found some old ancient looking coins, but have absolutely no idea what they are. I have included pictures of them below! Does anyone recognize any? Thank you ahead of time!  |

to the CCF I can recognize the bottom right as Roman empire, but I can't quite make out the legends. The bottom left is the Indian state of Kutch ((ca) 1870-1930)) The upper left may be Delhi Sultanate. Please give us better photographs and I think that we can narrow everything down: Individual cropped pictures of each side, and a weight and diameter of each one. |

The Roman might be Marcus Aurelius with VOTA reverse (sacrificing over a tripod). Yep, better pics would help.

to the community Only one of the coins appear to be ancient. You will need to take a closer picture of that one. Also in the future only post one or two coins at a time. |

Thank you all so much for the quick and positive comments, and welcoming!! It is crazy how fast some of these have been identified (and pretty exciting too!). I will make sure to post better pictures and their weights soon!

Here is a better picture of what is believed to be a Roman coin! Roughly 2.5 cm in diameter (I will post weights later - Am traveling!)  |

The Roman coin looks very much like this one on VCoins.  |

And lastly, which one of the users identified as a coin from the Indian state of Kutch 1870-1930. While the markings on these coin seem to match, I wasn't able to find this EXACT coin just yet. It is roughly 1.5 cm in diameter.  |

Thank you so much for all the responses!! I am still very surprised at how fast we were able to figure out what these coins are (They are very unique and I would never have found out by myself). This site is DOPE, I like it. Thanks again everyone!!  |
