Roman Coin Cufflinks

[JimDon]

I picked these up at an estate sale. They are real coins. Anyone recognize them?

Perhaps Roman Emperor Postumus AD:259-269
Left coin and top coin may be obverse and reverse of this coin:

PS: Guessing the reverse shows Potumus holding globe (visible orb) and spear.

at least they are not exactly the same...so not cast the same, if they are cast copies....

Agreed.
They are both 'antoninianus' of Postumus. Shame they are nice examples, inexpensive but ruined.

Two nice coins...ruined.

JimDon,
Without moving the bottom right coin, can you move its post and toggle 180 degrees then take another pic so that another part of the coin can be seen? I'm trying to ID the reverse image of that coin which differs from the first coin's ID-ed.

How about this angle? Thank you!

The image and legend on the other coin (right side bottom pic) is consistent (at least through these old eyes) as being attributed to this coin:
Postumus Antoninianus, struck 262 AD at Cologne mint.
Obv: IMP C POSTVMVS P F AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right.
Rev: IOVI PROPVGNAT, Jupiter standing left, holding thunderbolt and sceptre.
RIC 70; Elmer 290; AGK (corr.) 36; Cunetio 2402;

The "OP" and "NAT" are evident in the reverse legend.
