Yes, Julian as Caesar.  No diadem and the legend ends in NOB C.

SC

21mm diameter and 3,5grs weight.

Maybe a provincial coin with the heads of two Julio-Claudians. Weight and size would help.

Thanks a lot Shanxi!

What about Claudius Gothicus, and Annona

Thanks guys!

Thanks Shanxi!

City name ends on ..OΠOΛITΩN

A common possibilty would be Nicopolis, e.g. this Septimius Severus. But I'm nor sure about the emperor.

I think you skip a few steps.  Maybe if you went back and filled in those steps, it would be more clear, if you can fill in those steps, such as those that would explain how each monogram (with loops and tails, etc) are really letters used in the Milesian system.

Thanks for your insights and input, Klaus. Not sure how much you see as a sizeable sum of money  -- major peanuts for #1 anyway! https://cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=298517

If, on the other hand, we liquidate everything with a generic "we don't know", "it is not possible to know or hypothesize it" let's close these discussions on the forums, let's limit ourselves only to "what is it worth?" and we leave numismatics immobile where the Jesuit Joseph Hilarius Eckhel theorized it.

That this 'theory' is incomprehensible should not cause anyone to fear the collapse of the field of numismatics. It takes courage to admit what we don't know. It will be a pleasure to be proven wrong about either of those assertions.

Two coins with identical dies having the same flan crack is in my opinion impossible.
I suspect coin#3 being a cast from coin#1

Coin#5 has been reworked too much for any decent statement

The reverse of coin#4 puzzles. It has the usual beaded border and a ghost rim. The obverse seems OK

Judging just from the photos the patina of all coins cast no doubts.

I cannot make up my mind - especially as we are not talking about a lot of money.
The coins were sold for "peanuts"
