I really like your horses!

 

I am not sure what this coin is or if I am even supposed to post it under this thread. Please ignore my ignorance I am really new at this but will do my best . please tell me to hit the trail if I did something I was not supposed to do! Could you help me identify this coin and is it from the group of coins posted.

 

please help to identify this coin.

 

Can you read what is on the front (obverse) of the coin? Like, it probably starts with "DN..." And putting what you read into Google will help you in you search. Also, try doing that with the back (reverse) as the back is REALLY helpful in ID'ing a coin.

PS, I think the next couple letters after DN are VAL...

 

Probably this one, the reverse can be different since you didn't show the backside.

 

Thank you very much .mine has the letter P and I do believe it is identical to the one you posted . thanks a million .

 

I think you've figured out the attribution congrats...

 

Here is one of my Anastasian pentanummia.

 

thanks everyone for the help ! Your a great bunch on this site , and will need to rely on your intelligence in the near future again. Fantastic !

 

I don't have too many roman coins from the 5th century. But here's one of my favorites. An Honorius AE3. I just like the sandy patina. Even though the obverse suffers from a slight double vision effect on the front of the portrait.

Honorius; AD 393-423
AE3; 19mm/2.7g, Czyicus Mint
OBV; DN HONORIVS P M AVG; Pearl diademed, draped & cuirassed bust right
REV: VIRTVS EXERCITI; Honorius standing facing right, holding spear and resting hand on shield, crowned by Victory standing L beside him; SMKB in exergue
(RIC X 68)

 

A small selection of late AE2s, either minted in Cherson, or in Constantinople for Cherson. (Hard to find, especially the Val III; thanks to @Valentinian for fixing me up with these.)

Theodosius II:


Leo I:


Valentinian III:

 

Highlights for me in this thread include:
• The nice Leo in the OP
• @Pellinore's Marcian
• @David@PCC's Zeno (how do you tag him properly? The "@" always causes me trouble...) (edit: looks like it worked this time!)
• @dougsmit's Anastasius pre-reform
• @panzerman's zeno
• @7Calbrey's horseback pair

Nice thread!!

 

Great thread, interesting coins and History. I have 2 from this era.Theodosius and Arcadius.

 

Here are a couple of later Romans ... one's tough to find the other is just odd

Basiliscus:

Obv: ...BASLC AV.. (tiny coin and a name with too many letters)
Rev: Monogram

Leo / Marcian:



Obv: DN LEO PF AVG; bust right
Rev: Monogram of Marcian; star above

I don't know why but I really like this coin. Most likely barbarous but it's done very well.

 

Neat coins all!
