Hello to the forum members, I am new here. I purchased 5 Greek, Roman and Islamic coins, but lost their historical background data, such as the year of minting. I have codes that may indicate catalog numbers. I would appreciate it if you could explain them, in order to get through them to the information: DKA, HL, SMBR. Is there an internet site that lists the shortcuts of the catalogs? Thank you

I'm afraid I don't know what any of those codes are. They might even be dealer codes, rather than catalogue numbers.
Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, "Meditations"
Apparently I have been awarded one DPOTD.
Please post photographs of the coins.

The Abbasid coin is something like this al-Mu'tasim dirham, although I can't read Arabic (and you really need someone who can read it on these) https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces81323.html
The Ottoman coin says what it is on the card https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces107074.html
