    I received these in the mail last night after missing out on all of my bids in the latest Frank Robinson auction. I was glad that he still had a couple left in his bargain section.

    Faustina II
    Denarius
    Obverse: FAVSTINA AVGVSTA, draped bust right
    Reverse: AVGVSTI PII FIL, Venus standing left holding Victory & resting hand on shield set on a helmet

    Khusro I
    531-579
    Drachm
    Obverse: Crowned bust of king right, thre crescents outside of border
    Reverse: Fire altar with two attendants, Reginal year 13
    Mint: Ray

    This one was a little tough due to the condition of the coin. But based on my resources, I believe this is a fairly accurate ID.
