6 & 7 Century coins?

9 berichten • 154 keer bekeken
Newbie on this site. Thanks for being interested in helping identify some really old coins a deceased family member collected during his journeys. Hard to guess where he might have found them, as he lived all over the World as part of his work. The first coin is really small and looks to be made of bronze (guess). It weighs 3 grams and is one of 9 similar coins in the group. Each of the 9 has a similar pattern on one side and possibly Islamic writing on the other side. The writing appears to be different on each coin. Each of the coins weigh either 3 or 4 grams. Thanks in advance.

Second group again appear to be made of bronze. The two smaller coins weigh 3 grams and the larger one weighs 4 grams. The larger coins looks similar to coins from Afghanistan called a Falus. Afghanistan was one of the countries he lived in.

The next group are the nicest looking of the coins we have. Both are made of a silver colored metal, but not sure what that metal is. The largest coin weighs 13 grams and has a picture of a woman(?) wearing a crown on one side. The other side has a laurel wreath and writing. The condition of the writing is not great, but could say, PJNYP
NAYAN

The other coin weighs 10 grams and has what looks like the profile of Zeus and possibly a woman looking to the left. The other side of the coin has a figure holding a staff, what looks like the symbols for Alpha and Omega below the staff and writing that looks to say,
HYNINAION

My final group of ancient treasures are barely legible as coins, but appear to be some form of weighed token of value. The largest of these weighs 15 grams and looks to be made of copper. It could be a form of "Bull and Horseman" tender of the Kushan, but just a guess on my part. The second largest coin also looks to be copper and weighs 15 grams, but the figures are illegible. The smallest diameter of the group is actually very thick. It weighs 20 grams and has patterns on both sides, but not sure if it is writing. I have no idea what it is made of.

Unfortunately the two silvers are both clearly fake,
The coppers are quite interesting though!
I collect anything: If it's Italian or Italian states i collect it even more!

​I agree.
I collect and deal in ancient Roman coin. In case you're looking for affordable ancient coins or need any help with the coins you already have send me a message.
Ok. Nothing spent, nothing lost. Fakes of what is the question?
