    I’ve managed to ID my other shield helmet coins, but these elude. Any ideas? I believe the left coin has a longer than average thunder bolt (...not crayfish...nor leaf), looks a little like a laurel branch. The rt...no dot in the monogram/pi y.

    Thank you,

    2 real good looking Macedonian Shields right there, my man!
    Your one on the right is possibly:
    DCADF3F8-3E44-495D-9633-6D1FB5B564A7.jpeg
    Alexander III – Kassander
    Circa 325-310 BC. Æ Unit (15.5mm, 4.28 g). Uncertain mint in Macedon. Macedonian shield; boss with thunderbolt flanked by dots / Macedonian helmet; monogram below. Price 413 var. (monogram). Near VF, dark green patina.

    And your second has recently been attributed as:
    ALEXANDER IV
    c. 323-310 BC. AE (16mm, 3,59g). Macedonian shield, thunderbolt in center / Macedonian helmet, thunderbolt below, B / A on either side. Price 416.

    I really like the left skew of the pi y. That matches well. But I have some concern about the plumes being a different shape...curling back up at the end. I need to look at it again...but I left it at work. I appreciate your assistance and enthusiasm.
