Roman republic, 16.5mm



Roman provincial, 20mm



Greek, 20mm

These have me stumped. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello eRIC
Roman provincial coinage looks quite hard :8D
I looked after :
Homonoia
ANTΩNINOC
without success so far :(
The reverse legend seems uncommon too.

Hi Petrus,
I bought it directly from a very reputable ancient coin dealer in Germany, so I hope not.

Hi French,
Thanks for your time looking into this. I love this part of collecting ancients, attributing unidentified coins, but it can be super frustrating at the same time.

The first one looks doubtful to me; replica or some fourrée type.

Can you post pictures of edges?
