<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 4209592, member: 72790&quot;]I need some help with these coins. They are not mine. I was asked by a third party about them. The one in the red folder is obviously a tremissis of Justinian. One of the gold coins is, I think, a ducat of Hungary (St Stephen). I have no weights on them. The small copper is a lepton or prutah. I know nothing about them except that it is perhaps an example of a widow&#039;s mite. The one that most intrigues me is the large gold with Zeus on the obverse with the letter alpha at nine o&#039;clock. On the reverse is a scrawny eagle reminiscent of something Ptolemaic or maybe Phoenician (Tyre?) The Greek letters are alpha, pi, epsilon, iota,? o the left and to the right are rho, omega, tau, alpha, nu. My friend tells me it weighs in at a bot more than 10 grams which does not fit the usual Greel stater weight. The reverse also shows what seems to be corrosion, something not normally seen on a gold coin. I have some doubts about the authenticity of this last coin. Ant information on this last coin, and the others you can add, appreciated. Thanks[ATTACH=full]1079102[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1079103[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
