    Five more ancients from my Pastor, cleaned to the best of my abilities, lacking ID.
    The last two (#4 & #5) are rather small, approx. a centimeter each in diameter.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    :)

    Coin 1, Ayyubid fals, 13th c. according to the calligraphy
    Coin 2 Ummayyad fals (probably Syria, 8th c. AD)
    Both are upside-down. Here they are :

    Coin 3 looks like a medieval AE coin of Sri Lanka

    Coins 4 and 5 are late Roman. 4 :Constantius II, mid-4th c. AD, rev. Fel. Temp. Reparatio, falling horseman. 5 : late 4th c., probably Theodosius or Arcadius, rev. Vot. X mult. XX in wreath.

    I'm glad you were up to speed on that. I was utterly clueless on the first three. Recognized the fourth and fifth as late Roman. Did not notice the falling horseman on the Constantius II.

    @GinoLR : Thank you again for your expertise. Thank you also for pointing out I had presented some of the coins upside down (I am truly out of my realm when it comes to the ancients). I will place these in 2x2s w/your identifiers and present them to my Pastor. Thanks ever so much. :joyful:

    You guys have me beat hands down. I couldn't tell you the difference between a Denarius and a Stater if they bit me. It's all Greek to me, Lol. :)
