I think this may be Nabatean.

Could it be
Aretas IV with Queen Huldu
13 CE
Ya'akov Meshorer, Nabataean Coins, QEDEM 3, Hebrew University, Jerusalem (1975) 70v.

Obverse: Busts of king left.
Reverse: Two cornucopiae.

Aarmale, thanks!!!! That's great, so quick!!!!

But I have some questions, sorry for my "poor knowledge" in this part of numismatic.
For sample #5 Pontius Pilate Hendin 648
Hendin 648 is a number of a coin or a year of the coinage?

lepton - what is it?

Sorry again!

Its perfectly fine to ask.

Lepton is a type of coin, and is equal to 1/2 prutah (All the coins are prutahs, except the lepton I pointed out).

Hendin is the reference.  Look in Hendin's book on Judaean coins, find #648 and thats it.

Do you want me to post dates for all the coins?
