Top left: http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/bigpic.cgi?img=coins/./ric/hadrian/RIC_0161.jpg&ruler=./ric/hadrian/i.html (http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/bigpic.cgi?img=coins/./ric/hadrian/RIC_0161.jpg&ruler=./ric/hadrian/i.html) Bottom left: Similar to the following, but not quite the same as your portrait is bare-headed rather than laureate: http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/bigpic.cgi?img=coins/./ric/hadrian/RIC_0286.jpg&ruler=./ric/hadrian/i.html (http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/bigpic.cgi?img=coins/./ric/hadrian/RIC_0286.jpg&ruler=./ric/hadrian/i.html) Top right: Again similar to the following, but bare-headed bust. The coin illustrated in the link is described as bare-headed, but is in fact laureate. http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/bigpic.cgi?img=coins/./ric/hadrian/RIC_0267.jpg&ruler=./ric/hadrian/i.html (http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/bigpic.cgi?img=coins/./ric/hadrian/RIC_0267.jpg&ruler=./ric/hadrian/i.html) Bottom right: Denarius of Elagabalus. Obverse: IMP ANTONINVS AVG, laureate draped bust right. Reverse: P.M.TR.P.II COS.II P.P.Pax advancing left holding sceptre and olive-branch. Picture here: http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/bigpic.cgi?img=coins/./ric/elagabalus/RIC_0021v.jpg&ruler=./ric/elagabalus/i.html (http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/bigpic.cgi?img=coins/./ric/elagabalus/RIC_0021v.jpg&ruler=./ric/elagabalus/i.html) I've no idea about rarity sorry.
