Just returned from Petra where I got these 2 coins (both coins shown in pictures, with front and back represented in separate photos - Coin 1 on left, Coin 2 on right). Coins approximately 20mm diameter and 2.0mm thickness.The only other observation I can share is I did check the edge for casting indications with a loop, but honestly didn't know what I was looking for exactly. I would appreciate any information forum members can share about these 2 coins. I have researched them and found nothing online that matches these coins. I did discover that an "R" typically denotes a replica, so I fully expect these are not real coins. Knowing what era or emperor and any coin significance would be greatly appreciated. And, if in fact they were actually associated with Petra/Jordan. Thank You RB Report this Post to the Staff
