    Hello everyone,
    I am labeling all my coins in flaps that I don’t have done yet. I got these two for Christmas, and I left the description at home. Any ideas?

    Those are denarii from the Roman Republic. Pretty nice Christmas presents. I'm guessing here, but this might get you started - from some Vcoins listings:

    Cn. CORNELIUS BLASIO Cn.f. -
    Rome, 112/11 B.C.
    Helmeted Scipio Africanus head right, wearing crested Corinthian helmet,* monogram above, CN BLASIO CN F before, prow behind / Jupiter, holding sceptre and thunderbolt, standing facing between Juno and Minerva. ROMA in exergue.

    Anonymous Prawn Series
    Crawford 156/1; RSC 22; Sydenham 343 179-170 BC
    Head of Roma right, wearing winged helmet, X (mark of value) behind / Diana driving galloping biga right, prawn below horses; ROMA on tablet in exergue
