    the first coin appears to be Roman and I think Constantine I. I received these from an estate sale and do not know too much.

    the first coin is very faint and might not even be worth identifying. the second coin is suppose to be copper. Im confused.

    Thanks for any help.

    uh oh :scratch: bad news. upon closer look to the reverse wreath side of your Hawaii coin I see the words "souvenir XXXX? of Hawaii" on the bottom edge of the wreath. might be a replica. sorry to rain on your parade. best to get it check out anyways to be sure.

    There are Hawaii Souvenir Copies of Hapa Haneri...
    There appears to be very small writing under either side of the bottom of the wreath, looks like it says I think 'Souvenir (can't make it out) ....Hawaii.

    Before you get too weird with that Hawaiian cent, take a glass to the back and read the inscription "Souvenir of Hawaii" or something to that effect. Only worth a couple of bucks to someone who wants it.
