    The ship is nearly complete on reverse of this bronze coin. There are 2 Emperors on the obverse, facing each other. The coin weighs 12.25 g. Please help identify. Thanks..

    Septimius Severus and Caracalla. Phoenicia or Syria. Even CNG can't decide.

    There's a counter- mark on obverse between the chins of the 2 Emperors. I think it can be identified with a little cleaning and better focused photography. Maybe that would help decide the mint. At hand, it seems like a dolphin or Victory.

    Sure. There's a third coin that I didn't buy because it's rather expensive and even worn. It's a silver Greek Tet. Obverse is typically Victor Mature. Unbelievable. I have the photos though. Here they are.. Just for fun..
