    I know zero about ancients. Sorry, I should have posted one coin per thread. Below is what he sent me. Any info would be great. Thanks!

    I recently came into possession of some ancient coins that for the life of me I can't even begin to place a country much less what they are called as denomination. The first is listed as "1289-1305 Armenia, Hetoan II N400-03" and is 20mm and 2.9gr. There is no listing I could find matching this description for Armenia wasn't around then.

    Now these next two all the seller listed was these were "Hungarian coins", and I can find no even close matches at all for Hungarian. They are pretty worn.
    First one is silver, .6 gr and 16mm round. Both these are quite thin.

    This one is bronze/copper and is also .6gr and is 16mm x 14mm.

    I would greatly appreciate this...tanks.

    The top one is indeed Armenia. The left pic is upside-down.
    When searching the net, try "Cilician Armenia" instead of just Armenia. That's more specific for the medieval principality

    The magyars were mean and ruthless...the huns stirred them up.
