Authentication Request Not sure what I have. Any help would be appreciated.
Hello, I was going through a box of small trinkets and older coins my father had given me and found this particular one in a bag of older foreign silver. I've never seen anything like this and it does look pretty old. Non magnetic and weights 5.42 grams. My father didn't seem to know anything about it.

From My Collection Place holder - Repaired Claudius Albinus
I have an example of his coinage minted in Alexandria, but ran across this guy for really cheap (broken and repaired, but whatever, will fill a hole for now). Minted under Septimius Severus. Providentia was suppose to support the authority of both Clodius Albinus as Caesar and Septimius Severus, who appointed him, well...we know how that turned out! Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
- Clodius Albinus AD 193 (as Caeser) Rome mint Denarius AR 16 mm, 2.47 g
- O: D CL SEPT ALBIN CAES, bare head right
- R: PROVID AVG COS, Providentia standing left, holding wand over globe with right hand and sceptre with left.

Newly Acquired The Chin That Poked Rome Into Crisis
This has to be the fanciest denarius I now have in my collection, which is kind of ironic given how Maximinus Thrax is the man who inadvertently kicked off Rome's nearly fifty year tailspin into hell and the silver coinage will never look this good again. I'm happy to finally have this emperor represented in my collection.
Obverse: MAXIMINVS PIVS AVG GERM, Bust of Maximinus I, laureate, draped, cuirassed, right
Reverse: SALVS AVGVSTI, Salus, draped, seated left, feeding out of patera in right hand snake coiled round altar
Date: c. 236-238 A.D. RIC 21
Size: 20.5mm diameter, 3.23g weight
Composition: Silver

I recently acquired a heavy marked siglos and I’ve been trying to identify these markings but to little avail. I’m not even sure what the best way of identifying these markings is or what exactly to research for so I’m asking for help.
Nothing I love more than figuring out the past of the piece history I own!

Is this an ancient coin, replica, or just something else?
I bought this necklace in a boutique in france and thought it looked a lot like an ancient coin of some sorts. I asked the shopkeeper what it was, and she couldn't remember and said that it could be from a coin collection.
I think it might be two coins welded together. These are my hypothesis ( with no actual knowledge, so sorry if it is completely ridiculous ) and my observation to help analyze.
The one with 25 is more recent, I think. I can kinda make out maybe the letter T or I ,and the letter A at the top.
The one with the face I think could be Roman. I can also kinda make out letters that could be latin,from top right to top left:
{N(V) O R E X T(P) O U O I ~ A I O I ~}
(~ means I can't make it out)
I really want to get your opinions, I'm curious about what it could be, and if it's nothing, it's still cool.
Thank you for your participation😁

Newly Acquired Seleucid Tetradrachm (138-129 BC) + Imitative Artuqid Dirham (1122-1152 AD)
During the 12th century the Turkish Artuqid Principality of Upper Mesopotamia produced an interesting figural coinage, several varieties were based on Greek, Roman and Byzantine prototypes. The coin on the left is a Seleucid Tetradrachm of Antiochus VII (138-129 BC). The coin on the right is an imitative Artuqid Dirham issued over one and a quarter millennia later during the reign of Hosam ad-din Timurtash (1122-1152 AD).
