Thanks for the quick response Peckris. What may appear to be a D or an R at the beginning of the reverse legend on the first coin is merely a line making up part of the central design motif. The legend reads: A /Greek letter sigma/I. Then: K/A/W. Hopefully this might help nailing it down to a particular time frame/mint. Funnily enough; my wife, who is a professional classicist, can't make much sense of this legend.

Hello all. I'm new to the forum, and this is my first post. Although the main focus of my collecting is English copper and silver C16th-19th I do also have a tray of ancient coins. All but three of these I have identified and noted. I'm uploading photos of the three mystery coins here in the hope that some of you may be able to identify them for me. Copper 1: 19mm / 6.2g. All detail is in high relief and looks much better in the hand than it does in my rather poor photo. Copper 2: 21mm / 8.6g. The bust looks not unlike that on a silver Ptolemy drachm I have. There are a couple of rows of vertical script on the reverse arranged either side of a standing figure. Silver: 17mm / 3.9g. Conjoined busts on the obverse, a rider on horseback on the reverse. There may also be a small inscription below. Thank you for looking.
