Provincial 1
« on: November 23, 2016, 03:09:11 pm »
Dear Board,
A friend has sent pictures of 5 Roman Provincial coins to help him to identify them.
Their weights vary between 25.00 to 35.00 grams
I will be very grateful if you could help him on identifying and giving  reference on these coins.
First one looks like Severus Alexander!
Thank you for your great help and time.

Hi solon,

Could it be a Cilicia coin?
