[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2250803, member: 56859"]Hi Miralay, More information and better images would be helpful. What is the size and weight? What are the metals? The color is really off in these pictures but the first coin is probably bronze and the second silver, or some silver-colored metal. For ease of viewing, I've cropped, joined, and rotated your images: [ATTACH=full]445438[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]445439[/ATTACH] The second is (or is supposed to be) a coin of Alexander III but the obverse styling does't look right. I think it is inauthentic. The first coin... hmm. The reverse somewhat resembles some small bronzes of Alexander III but obverse doesn't fit-- it looks more like a laureate-head Roman emperor. I can't read the letters on the reverse but they don't look like any Macedonian king's name. Given that it was posted with another coin of dubious authenticity, I suspect it is inauthentic as well. Can you post the size and weight of the coins, and better pictures?[/QUOTE]
