I found another coin without letters. Does anybody recognize man on coin. I know this coin isn't worth so much but I want to give name all coins I found in my collection. 9g - 24mm Is that coin As ; Follis ; or AE2 Is that coin so much worn out because he don't have any letters on side or they just made them like that?
I would guess that it is Marcus Aurelius or Lucius Verus. There is a legend, but it is worn off which makes it very hard to full ID. You can just make out a few letters at the two o'clock position on the obverse.
I think it may be RIC 893, Marcus Aurelius Dupondius with Liberalitas reverse. Take a look at http://wildwinds.com/coins/ric/marcus_aurelius/RIC_0893.jpg
Thank you for answer. Lights me if there is a crown then usuly is Dupondies? Can you tell me something more about that? Thanks
Yes. The crown generally indicates a double denomination and the dupondius is a 'two as' coin. The sestertius (4 asses) is larger and easy to tell by size but many asses and dupondii are harder to separate without the crown. Later when they decided to make double denarii in silver, they also used the crown. We call these antoniniani.
Another 2 coin.First coin you can only see how men try go on horse can someone recognize with so little data. 2g 17 mm Biger picture And second coin. Very tiny. I just wush them with olive oil. 3g 20mm THIS TWO WAS VERY TINY IS THAT Quadrans OR SEMIS
The first is known as the Falling Horseman type - the legend is FEL TEMP REPARATIO. The second is a follis of Licinius, Jupiter reverse.
JA is correct ... I just happen to have a sweet example of your 2nd coin ... Licinius I, Æ Follis A.D. 308-324 Heraclea A.D. 313 Diameter: 20 mm Weight: 3.29 grams Obverse: IMP C VAL LICIN LICINIVS P F AVG, laureate head of Licinius I right Reverese: IOVI CONSER-VATORI AVGG, Jupiter standing facing, head left, holding Victory on globe, and scepter; at feet to left, eagle standing left, head right, holding wreath in beak; Δ//SMHT Reference: RIC 73 ... but they are from different mints I always feel good about this coin, for I only paid $44 (delivered)
Victory is holding a wreath in both your and Steve's coins. Your coin was minted at Siscia (SIS). The Delta is a control mark from the mint.
Both coins are Siscia mint (Sisak, Croatia). Both have the delta of workshop 4. The falling horseman is probably Constantius II (certainly if the portrait has a diadem of any sort). Both are far from the worse coins we see of their types but be careful in cleaning that you do not go too far and ruin the surfaces. The circled circle is a wreath that the statue of Victory is offering to Jupiter. Notice that the eagle has a smaller wreath for him also.
Thank you for all responde First is then Siscia RIC VII 8,D Licinius AE Follis. AD 313-315. IMP LIC LICINIVS PF AVG, laureate head right / IOVI CON-SERVATORI, Jupiter standing left with victory & sceptre, eagle at foot with wreath in its beak,D to right, SIS in ex.
Second could it be Siscia RIC VIII 332 Constantius II. AE 23mm. D N CONSTAN-TIVS P F AVG, bust right, A behind / FEL TEMP REPARATIO, III in left field, helmeted soldier left, spearing falling horseman; mintmark ASIS. LRBC 1202. Front is also very similar THANK YOU ALL I NEVER FIND ALL THIS BY MYSELF
This last coin you show has III in the reverse field and A in the obverse field. It is much larger diameter than the 17mm coin you posted first. These were issued at a time of terrible inflation when money issued one day was replaced by smaller and junkier coins in a very short time. The marks in the field make a difference. We did not ID the first because you never showed the obverse and it could be a coin of Constantius Gallus as well. That is why I mentioned the portrait having head gear; only Constantius II does but Gallus is bare headed. You say the front is similar but I doubt it has the A in the field. Yes? Remember that there are estimated to be 2200 versions of the falling horseman coins so you need to be a little specific on the little details to get a solid ID.
Front of that coin was terrible. But Constantius II have (look red ) I guess I never get enough information about that coin. But I leave him one month in olive oil and he still go to my collection like Fallen Horseman about 200 AD and it's probably follis
