    That last one is a "potin" (cheapo copper alloy containing a minimal amount of silver) tetradrachm of Aurelian, who reigned from 270-275. It's strange that you found it in Europe, as they were only legal tender in Egypt. Do you recall where you found it?

    Yes I do think that is strange as well. I found it on the Border of Munich, Germany, in the farm fields that lay right outside the city. there was a lot of activity over there by Romans in ancient times, and Nazis in WW11.
