Here's my Trajan sestertius with Regna Adsignata reverse, posing alongside its description in Seth Stevenson's Dictionary of Roman Coins...
A bit hard to see, but from what I can see all of these look to be modern replicas. Worth maybe a few dollars total, as a curiosity.
It's a modern cast copy, so entombing it in Lucite didn't really decrease the value by much...
@H8_modern : No problem borrowing my write-up (as long as you attribute it to me), I'm glad you found it useful. I like your coin, it is worn...
Modern copy, unfortunately. It's imitating a Chinese coin of the Jia Qing emperor (1796-1820). I think the mintmark is supposed to be Board of...

I recently bought this coin from a fixed-price list of Stephen Album: [ATTACH] Kushano-Sasanians. AE chalkos or unit (16 mm). Ardashir I...
I won this coin in Frank Robinson's most recent auction: [ATTACH] Parthian Kingdom, Hekatompylos mint. AR obol (0.44 g, 10 mm). Mithradates I...
First coin is Showa 55 (1980), second coin is Showa 33 (1958).
