Hi,

I can make better pictures if necessary. Thank you for your time :)

The most interesting one, IMHO, is the lower left one. This is a coin of Crispus, a son of Constantine who was appointed heir to the throne (Caesar) but for some obscure reason was murdered on the orders of his own father in 326.

Obv.:
Dominus Noster FLavivs IVLivs CRISPVS NOBilissimvs CAESar

Rev.:
POVIDEN─TIAE CAESS (= Caesarum) = "To the Providence of the heirs"
SMH (not sure which mint it is, but easy to check)
__| A (with dot above)

Who was or were heirs with Crispus? I suppose at least Constantine Junior (perhaps also Constantius).

Thanks a lot Camerinvs! As I found out the mint is Nicomedia.
So, in the exergue:

SMN = Sacra Moneta Nicomediae

Constans, Constantius ii, Constans, Crispus & Valens.
I deny nothing but doubt everything, opinions are made to be changed, how else is the truth to be gotten at.
The coin of Valens (lower right) is to the GLORIA ROMANORVM type and was struck at the Siscia mint (as you can see in the exergue). Quite a few similar coins on the Wildwinds page.

The GLORIA EXERCITVS type of Constans (top right) was struck in Siscia when he was emperor (AVG on the obverse) so, after September 337. Until then, his coins bore the title Caesar (CAES); same for Constantine II and Constantius.

The FELicivm TEMPorvm REPARATIO type of Constantius II (top center) was struck at Sirmium, also in 337 or later.

By the way, the reverse of the Crispus coin (see above), given what I've explained, is quite ironic.

Thanks to you I have found them all in wildwinds page. Except one. Valens, Siscia mint. On the right field it has something like a N or H and the star above it. There are few similar coins, but not the same one. I also can see a dot before mint mark. And I can not decide is it ASISC or BSISC.
How do you think it was worth of buying for 3 or 4 euros ( all 5 coins)?

Similar field marks I found only on Thessalonica coins.
It would list as either RIC 5b or RIC 5b type ii
I cant find the complete list of field marks right now, I will get back to it later when I have more time.

​I'm new to roman coins, so just starting to understand the letters and numbers on them and about them :)

So do mean this list? If so, my coin should be type v?

Known officinae (x):
i. A, B
ii. A, B, Γ
iii. B
iv. A, B
v. B
vii. B, Γ

That's the one, good searching.
