Hi

I've had a look at a few sites though, they all depend on whether the coins are UK issues or not. The warrior on horseback appears typically Roman (especially with the vertical line drawn at the bottom of the coin). The first one I assumed was Celtic though, again, it has Anglo Saxon style patterns. As for the last one... .

so it is a Turner then, "crown above the CR"

its easier when you have the coin in front of you :)

The silver coin is either an Elizabeth I 3p or 6p 1578-82.
In this case size does matter, the 6p is bigger than the 3p.
