    Hi. These are a few more coins I found in my fathers collection and I have no idea what they are other than the single coin is roman and the three coins are egyptian. I'm not even sure which side is the obverse and which is the reverse. Can anyone offer any information on any of these coins?They are not in the best shape but I know it depreciates the coins value to clean them. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    The Roman coin depicts Constantine the Great. The obverse has his rosette diademed bust right, draped and cuirassed, with "CONSTANTINVS MAX AVG" surrounding. The reverse has two soldiers with two standards with the legend "GLORIA EXERCITVS" meanding "Glory of the Army" surrounding. The exergue on the reverse is the mintmark "TR(dot)P", which indicates that it's from first workshop of the Trier mint. This coin was minted at some point between 330 and 335 AD. The Roman Imperial Coinage, the standard reference series for coins like this, lists it in its seventh volume as Trier 537. It's a common coin, but you have it in decent shape. The value might be around $20.

    As for the others, they're nothing I know about, unfortunately.
