Awesome coin Sallent. Another winner! The portrait has a very pleasant style.
A most generous gift. That coin has a lot of 'eye appeal'!

I'm sorry to say, the Augustus and Nero are modern cast fakes too.
Also, it may be wise to post them in their own thread. This thread's title may not attract the folks who could help.
