    It's been a while. I hope everyone is well.

    I found these yesterday while sorting through things.

    They seem unique to me. Any information on them would be appreciated :cigar:

    Have a good day! Thanks.

    The second piece, the crown ring, is Bulgarian.
    Unfortunately Bulgaria is known for making fake antique jewellery, and a brass or bronze ring can be 'aged' very easily.
    The file marks on the inside of the ring are so clear that the ring doesn't seem to have been worn.
    The ring could have been added later to an older crown, that is something Bulgarian fakers do as well.

    The image on the top whatever is related to that of Victory driving a quadriga seen on Roman coins.

    Oh, looks like it - that's how they make ancient coins that have been cleaned, look like they have a sand patina. The recesses/fields are filled with a super type glue then sprinkled with finely crushed sand to make it look like it was found in a desert type setting. It's called "repatinage".
