Greetings

I've inherited a small coin collection (24 pcs) and hoped to get some help identifying them.

Done some research and most of the coins look like they're arabic. Parthian, Sassanian, but there are some greek and roman also.

bronze, silver and 1 gold coin

Got the weight and measures of the coins and are in the progress of taking pictures.

I was wondering if I could post the pictures on this forum to get some help identifying. For insurance an approx value also would be nice.

thnx in advance

You have come to the right place to have your coins IDed. When you post your pictures it's best to post one or two coins at a time rather than all at once. It make it easier for us to get a closed view of the coin.

Thank you for welcoming me. Here's the first coin.
Unfortunately I forgot the weight and measures (posting from work)

Looks like a grumpy old man

Hello and welcome.

Your first coin is ancient Indian, from the pre-Gupta period, a loose association of rulers and dynasties known in English as the "Western Satraps", circa 100-400 AD. Check this Grifterrec page and the zeno.ru index page for examples.
