Probably going to need some pictures taken on the macro setting Viktor for a closer more precise view of the details on the coins. Weight in grams and dimensions in millimeters if you have a set of calipers will help with the ID as well.

Cru,
With all respect to your dad, I see a "B" in the right field of the first coin, indicating the second 'officina' --versus an "A" as in his attribution-- that would designate the 'prima' or primary 'officina' (workshop).

Dad just rang & got the RIC corrected & the E. He just did a quick cut & paste job.

If it's an "E", that stands for Epsilon, the 5th letter in the Greek alphabet and the fifth workshop.
Don.......

I learnt something there, because its unusual for the field to denote the workshop instead of the usual first letter of the Ex.
