I went to the shop today and picked up a few cheapos to have a lil fun with. I hastily took some pics to toss up. This first one seems the hardest to find. I believe it says "In hoc signo vinces" around the cross and Constanti dot imp dot around a crown. ae22 I don't even know if its a coin. AE 13 Punic? Valentinian (II?)Alexandria ae4 Lycian ae15 this one looks good in hand, ill have to try for better pics. Post reform Radiate. ae15 should be easy
A lot of medieval communion tokens were inscribed In Hoc Signo Vinces, and, as noted below, there's a strong connection between Constantine and the Christian community: "Munro-Hay notes that the legend upon his bronze coins, bzmsql tmw ("By this cross you will conquer"), was a loose translation of the famous motto of Emperor Constantine the Great, In hoc signo vinces ("By this sign you will conquer")..."
Well those certainly are challenging! Trying to ID them should be fun. The AE13 Punic? reverse could be a stag, lion, horse... many possible origins. My guess is something from Asia Minor. The Lycian AE15-- I think the lyre looks wrong for Lycia. The 'easy' AE15-- Hmm. I bet with some searching that can be narrowed down.
Its a second punic wars shekel i think, you can see the trunk of the palm tree between the horses legs, above the horses back would be the palm branches.
So far this is what I have Galerius, as Caesar, AE Post-Reform Radiate Fraction. 297-298 AD. MAXIMIANVS NOB C draped & curiassed bust right, VOT XX & officina letter [?] within laurel wreath. Cohen 247. Rome RIC VI 87b Valentinian II AE4 D N VALENTINIANVS P F AVG, Pearl-Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust right.VOT X MVLT XX. ALEB in wreath, in ex Alexandria RIC? I'm still thinking punic on that other one, but not 100%. Still nothing on that first one though I found similar (not by much) coins of Brazil and Portugal, as well as some Knights Templar buttons.
"Lycian AE 15" should be Smyrna in Ionia, with chelys reverse. Similar to: http://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=112628
