A silver or perhaps silver plated coin of a silver denarius of Augustus dating to the period 18 BC to 16 BC (Reece Period 1). CAESARI AVGVSTO or SPQR reverse type depicting a triumphal quadriga r. surmounted by four miniature galloping horses. Spanish mint of Colonia Patricia. RIC I (rev.ed.), p.48, no.96 or 108a. It is a brockage with the quadriga design being incuse on one side, probably due to another coin being stuck in the die during striking.

This is a Roman silver denarius, probably of Antoninus Pius (AD138-161). That idea based on the portrait bust facing right with the profile of a probable beard on the obverse and the depiction of Fortuna standing left holding rudder & cornucopia, on the reverse. The coin is now much corroded with a dark grey/black patina but, under close inspection, there is evidence of the silver content with small but numerous flecks of silver, over and through the coin. See RSC 859.

This is a Roman silver denarius of Antoninus Pius (138-161). The obverse has a laureate head facing right and the reverse probably depicts Aequitas standing front, head left, holding scales & scepter. The coin has a dull grey patina and is heavily encrusted, possible the result of fire and or, the silver being of a debased quality, which is not unusual for the times.

This is a Roman silver denarius of Antonius Pius (138-161), or at least, it purports to be: TR POT XIX COS IIII, Fortuna right. If correct, the coin would date to 155-156 AD, corresponding to RIC III 251. The obverse has the laureate head right and the reverse - Fortuna standing right holding rudder on a globe and cornucopia. It may be a contemporary plated copy. The surface of the coin is pitted and flaked with what may be signs of a ‘core’ of a different material which may be copper alloy. Overall, the coin is struck in the centre of a misshapen flan; it has much surface…

This is a Roman silver denarius of Hadrian, AD 119-122. The obverse has a laureate bust right, draped left shoulder and the reverse has Felicitas standing left with caduceus & cornucopia. This coin is in fair condition; however, the surface appearance has a debased silver look and what looks like an eruption of the core on the obverse which may be copper alloy. Therefore it might suggest that this is a contemporary fake.

This is a Roman silver denarius of Vespasian (AD69-79). The obverse has the laureate head right and the reverse has Vesta seated left, holding simpulum. The coin may be related to RSC 358 and thus dated to AD 71. Athough worn with much of the obverse legend missing, the coin retains a goood silver finish.

This interesting little item is suggestive of a denarius of Trajan (AD98–AD117) but it fails in not being in silver. It has the characteristics for that coin with the bust of Trajan facing right on the obverse and Dacian seated facing right on the reverse. It is equal in size to an original and looks to be well formed; however, it is most probably a contemporary fake in an indeterminate base metal that has now long lost its silvered surface. There is a small spur to the rim of the coin which might be indicative of this coin having been 'cast' as opposed to struck, with struck…
