[QUOTE="Orielensis, post: 8155691, member: 96898"]The Bohemond VII gros from the County of Tripoli (middle coin on the left) would be quite valuable if it were real. Unfortunately, it very much looks like [URL='https://www.academia.edu/39003024/The_Infamous_Tripoli_Bohemond_VII_Gros_Modern_Forgery']this[/URL] well-known forgery. The two medieval Islamic dirhams on the bottom of your picture might well be authentic. They aren't worth a lot in any case. I'm not an expert on these and it's hard to identify them without seeing both sides of the coins, but the one on the left looks like an Abbasid dirham to me. The one on the right might be Mamluk, but I'm not sure. I can't say anything about the Chinese cash coin (top right row). The coin on the top left is or imitates a Roman silver denarius from the reign of emperor Domitian. It is impossible to determine whether it is real or not from your picture.[/QUOTE]
