I'm new to the coin collecting world and could use some help with figuring out what these coins are i inherited. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.
Yes, that's Antoninus Pius, probably the denomination called an As and from about 140 AD. If your next question is, "what is it worth/" with that hole and the deep flan crack, not a whole lot. This assumes that it is a genuine ancient coin and not a recent copy.
The modern coins are a pair of Israeli 5 Agorot coins minted from 1960 to 1975. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces1719.html
I don´t think it is authentic, look at the crack al 7 o´clock. It looks as if it is made of lead or something weak, plus, chubby legends...almost like a WRL replica.
The Antoninus Pius as seems to have the reverse PIETAS AVG. Compare: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=2765992 I do not claim to be able to tell genuine from fakes using photos but the 'problems' I see could be explained away on a genuine coin that has had a hard life.
I can definitively answer this one... It’s a cast fake. I have a nearly identical one that came in a lot of 14 other authentic coins. Sorry for the bad news. The good news is you could buy an authentic one in this condition for $40 give or take a bit.
It is amazing the amount of work put into reproducing this fake including the hole. Imagine the same techniques applied to a nice original. Extending the cracks from the original edge irregularities was a nice touch. I would like to know the whole story here. Was this a challenge bet between co-workers in the fake business? Was it made to fool one particular collector? Was it a final exam in fake-maker school? It is easy to understand a lot of work put into expensive coins but this coin, if genuine, would seem less than the $40 OJ quoted.
