Danester Valued Member United States 213 Posts	Posted 07/02/2011 9:53 pm They are Greek gold coins. The second one is from the rein of ALEXANDER III (the Great) (c. 315-294 BC. Obverse: Head of Herakles facing right, wearing lion skin. Reverse: Zeus seated left, holding eagle and sceptre; (lambda) in left field, monogram beneath seat. Not sure the period of the first one.

jenniferhudson New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 07/03/2011 08:22 am Thank you for the info Danester. You wouldnt happen to know if these coins are worth anything would you? I found them in an old dresser I purchased from a rummage sale. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16844 Posts	Posted 07/03/2011 09:54 am Hello and welcome. I moved your thread to the ID Required section of the forum for you. The bottom coin is silver, not gold. I assume the lighting has made it turn that colour. I'm afraid we'd need to see much bigger pics before we could ID it for sure. The top one is gold, but it's not Greek. The style is Indian, but I'm not familiar with the design. Can we have an indication of how big these coins are? Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
jenniferhudson New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 07/03/2011 6:38 pm Hello and thank you for your reply to my post. The coins are 8grams each. Yes the other coin is silver, I have identified that one as being Greek, Alexander The Great. The Gold coin I have yet to identify. I can try and post a larger pic if it would help.
