They're silver and greek. I guess from the 3rd or 4th century AD. They are beautiful but i'm no expert.

I was unwilling to be sure that the Athenians were fake but the other two definitely are. Between this and the other images shown, I see no possibility they are real and that casts more doubt on the Athenians since fakes tend to congregate together. It would seem unusual for someone who did not know the series to have 20 real Athenian tetradrachms.

For the record: I consider it possible in many cases to be 100% certain from a photo alone that a coin is fake but never (not ever!) possible to be 100% certain a coin is genuine without some other information not provided by the best photo. There are many photos that are far from certain one way or the other. The poor group image of one side of the Athenians may not show anything that condemns them with certainty but that is a far cry from saying they are authentic.

You can not be a 100% sure that those two are fake. Because they are real.
