Sorry the pictures are bad. I found them at a flea market in a "junk" box. They appear to be very old, but I am not sure. Thanks for the help.
Hello The silver (? ) coin on the left looks like a roman denarius with a reverse depicting some priestly instruments at this time: it's a keeper:smile the right one is probably bronze and hard to identify with this pic Hoping it can help ! All the Best Philippe
The right one is a coin from the first French Republic , a keeper too even if the reverse is well worn i think we can read "république française" on the obverse, with the bust (the enlarged pic gave me some hint ! )
Thank you! I am interested in bullion atm. Would these be worth enough to trade in for some silver bullion?
The one on the left is a denarius of Marcus Aurelius, when he was only Caesar, before he became emperor. At best, it's worn, porous, and pierced. At worst, fake. I can't tell from your image.
1 centime France The coin at the right is indeed a French coin. It actually is a piece of 1 centime and if I think it is the design that was started during the French revolution. On the reverse it should read 'UN CENTIME L'AN " and a number. This number should be a 6,7 or 8 and is the year, based on the revolution calender 6 =1797-98, 7 =1798-1799; 8=1799-1800. The letter big A under this text on the reverse is a sign that it was minted in Paris, France. This piece should weigh around 2 gram, should be 18 mm in daimeter and consist of bronze. The edge is a smooth edge. As already stated, the pictures are not sharp enough, but do know that pieces in good (and I mean the numismatic condition of it, in US graded as G-10) are rated between 2 and 100 euro (=2,5 to 125 USD). You should try to make some better pictures and spend some time examening the actual coin, since several varieties exist of this coin. The varieties are based on the number of pearls near the edge on obverse and reverse. Year 7 is also known to be an overdate on year 6. I am looking forward to hearing the results of your further examination!
