    Hi Lorrydevil

    They are tetradrachm minted in Roman Alexandria, from a material called potin which is a mix of copper, tin and lead. I'm afraid that I don't know the type well and can't make out enough of the legends on either coin to give a specific identification. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will weigh in shortly, but you might be able to find them yourself here/here

    Very handsome coins!

    Tetradrachms (possibly a small trace of silver but mostly copper) of Alexandria of Galerius and Carinus - I can never understand how people today can't tell copper from gold. Both are quite collectable and would be welcome in my collection.

    What would these be worth approximately?

    Good condition examples so probably around $40-50 each.
