Help Needed Hammered And Roman Coins

Almost forgot

The Roman coin is an AE4 of Helena (mother of Constantine the Great), PAX PVBLICA reverse, Trier mint.
Tesorillo 58, and it looks like the cross-less version, which would make it Numista 17878. Neat coin!

I can't tell much about the other coin, though it's definitely English and it does look like it's of an Edward.

Your second coin is a "late Roman Bronze". Issued in the name of Helena, the mother of emperor Constantine the Great and later known as Saint Helena, and struck after her death.

Obverse: portrait of Helena, legend FL IVL HELENA AVG
Reverse: the goddess Pax standing, legend PAX PVBLICA
Mintmark: TRP (Treveri, now known as Trier, Germany).

Some varieties of this coin type have a small cross on the reverse. These are quite highly sought after, being one of the first appearances of the Christian cross on Roman coinage.

It should also be pointed out that this coin was copied extensively in the decades after the coin was officially released; these "barbarous" imitations can look almost as good as the real thing. This coin may be too corroded to be able to tell for sure whether it is "official" or "barbarous".

I think the Edward might be Group 10, which would be 1305-1310, but possibly 10cf4, which is 1309 (Edward II). Pennies of Edwards I-III are all incredibly similar. But yours has the king's name as EDWA, which means it's Group 10 or 11 (Edward I or II).

JohnConduitt I didn't think it was as early as that.As I have mentioned they were both detector finds from a friend of my grandfather.These two were gifts and I was lucky enough to receive them from my uncle.Thanks to you and other members here ...it has made my quest for information simple.The only time I was able to help someone was years ago on the website coinquest...Im sure you all know it.During my days in Saudi Arabia I was lucky enough to get hold of silver Saudi Riyals for very little.They used to sell them in money changers.Years later I found out that they were from a batch of 1 million salvaged silver riyals from a ship that was sunk by a German U Boat of the coast of Oman in 1944.King Abdul Aziz had made a deal with the USA to have 3 million silver riyals minted to pay the oil workers as they didn't really have a currency of their own.They were using MTTs silver dollars rupees you name it.
The guys at coinquest gave me a mention for pointing out that that there were some other years of the silver riyals not mentioned....simply because I had some.
I could tell you another story about salvaged silver pesos n from the phillipnes but I will leave that for another post

The Edward pennies are a near nightmare to attribute. The cartoon like portraits are of limited value. There is a website which explains it all very well, which I mentioned in a post a few years ago and naturally I have forgotten what it is. It took extensive archaeology to figure out which designs were made in which years and in which mints. So up to relatively recently nobody was sure which Edward belonged to which coin.
