The final coin is a Santa Marta Royalist Siege Coin. Here is a link to a recent thread about one: https://goccf.com/t/59715As with the above thread yours looks original but hard to say 100% its not a replica as the pic is a little blurred and I'm by no means an expert on these. |

I think the 2nd is a Roman coin of the Emperor Domitian. It prob has the inscription: IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM COSXI (CENSPERPP or CENSPOTPP) But could be COSXII or even COSXIII - Its a shame we cant see how many 'I's are after the X as it would help date it. If it is as I think COSXI then the coin would have been minted in Domitians 11th consulship between 85 and 86AD. If its COSXII it was minted between 86 and 87AD and if its COSXIII 87 to 88AD. Here is a link to some other Domitian coins at Forvm Ancient Coins: http://www.forumancientcoins.com/ca...ar=135&pos=0I have no reason to believe its anything other than original from the picture.

1st one.
Obverse: Sedes Sapientia Ora Pro Nobis - Motto but not sure of meaning?
Reverse: Sancta Maria Ad Montem - I think this is a monastery in Italy?
I cant find any other examples of this medal/token on the net - sorry.

Great thanks, lots of good info! Is annoying about the first other wise it would of been a full house :) Most of these coins have been past on to me a couple of years ago, now I have started up my hobby of metal detecting I decided to did out the coin collection and see if I had anything good in it.
As for the first one I do know it was bought from a medalists in London, and yes the Sancta Maria Ad Montem is a monastery in Italy and Sedes Sapientia Ora Pro Nobis means Our Lady, Seat of Wisdom, pray for us. So then I think Sedes Sapientia is the lady on the obverse of the coin. Only if coins could speak! (or in this case have a date on it, could of made it easier!)

No problem - from what I see here and in your other posts it looks like you got a nice set of coins and medals from someone who had knowledge and a wide range of interest in what they collected. Very nice.
Most of the ones you have listed are nice coins and do have some value in them (nothing worth a fortune but certainly no 'bargin bin' stuff). Just out of interest were you given any more Roman coins like the second one?

Im not to sure, I know there is few more roman coins, if you give me a day or so I will have a good sort through it and see if I can answer your question.

BobbyHelmet: I had a good look through, and the only one I found is the one I have put up with the other pictures, it is Coin E1 to E2(i did find 4 others but they were so worn they were pretty much just metal discs so I didnt put them up) the coin I put up doesn't look like the other one but I think it is roman, I will let you make that decision.
