I agree, it looks authentic from the photos. Late Roman Bronzes (LRBs) are typically found in pretty decent condition so the condition of your...
Nice find!
I wonder if some of these were minted by official celators making a little money by moonlighting on the side LOL
Very nice!
Definitely looks like a bracteate. I think that if you reverse the image 180 degrees, you see a bird's head. Not my area of expertise though, so...
Yup, definitely an Indian fanam. These small gold coins typically date to the 17th-18th century, so not ancient, but still a few hundred years...
Great job on the cleaning? How did you do it?
Thanks for posting, @lordmarcovan. I admire and appreciate your ongoing generosity to further the hobby for all the numismatic enthusiasts (myself...
Entry post. My first choice is Lot #4, the South India gold fanam, as I don't have any coins from South India from that period. Looks like a...

The first looks like an billon Alexandrian tetradrachm, although I could be wrong...
Agree, it is Galerius, as indicated by @dougsmit in this Forum Coins post
@cmezner wrote previously about the "X" variant in a previous thread: It is an X, not a star and according to Reinhard Wolters cited in the...
Yes, the "X" above the shields in the center field on the reverse makes it the scarcer variety. There was a thread on that a while ago.
This was a Roman Republican silver coin which was used to trade with the Magna Graecian colonies in Southern Italy. In fact, several types were...
I like the carnelian scorpion intaglio... I have one like that as well ;)
Awesome find and cleaning job - congrats!
Style seems fishy to me as well, but like many others, this isn't my area of expertise.
Most of them are nummi, or AE3s. The small ones are AE4s. Others may have more updated nomenclature; I still remember LRBs based on size.
All of these coins are late Roman bronzes except for the 2d coin top right, which appears to be Greek. Too difficult to ID with the blurry images...
