Description
Rome and the Islamic world, ca. 211 BCE to 274 CE; and ca. 700 to 1000 CE. These are two Roman silver coins, both with male busts on the front and one with what appears to be a female bust wearing a crown on the back (possibly the wife of the emperor) and the other with an eagle, a common Roman symbol. The one with the eagle may be a denarius, while the one with the female bust looks to be an antoninianus (theoretically a double denarius but, due to coinage debasement, most likely not worth that at all). The third coin is a bit of an oddity -- its design looks Islamic but because it has been so heavily clipped (a very common practice with old coinage), it is difficult to tell what it was. Size of largest: 1" W (2.5 cm).
