Coins from Jordan 6/8 - help requested
« on: December 09, 2017, 03:13:41 pm »
Hi All, first ever post here, asking for help identifying 8 coins I recently bought/found in Jordan, mainly in/around Petra.  I will look at identifying the coins myself using the great instructions on this forum.  Apologies for the quality of the photos.

1.8 cm in diameter.  Thanks in advance for your help.

It's imitating a Nabataean coin, but they all look like tourist fakes.
