Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 11/07/2009 2:51 pm I have three ancient coins, which I am fairly certain are genuine, but cannot figure out their exact id. Does anyone know these coins? The large coin is very thick and heavy, the top right is fairly thin, the bottom right is fairly thick. Thank you kindly! =) Identified - moved to Ancients forum - Sap Edited by Numismat 11/07/2009 2:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Reverse: IOVI CONSERVATORI AVGG NN, Jupiter standing left holding Victory on globe and scepter, eagle with wreath in beak left. Report this Post to the Staff
