I've very close by and have never been over. Benicia is a bit underrated as far as Bay area towns go, I think.

Another coin on display at the nearby Benicia State Capitol building, a half dollar from the year that Benicia was the state capitol:
United States half dollar 1853
This coin looks like it has seen some service.

I own one of the Greek coin types on the bottom right picture:
PAMPHYLIA, Aspendos. Circa 380/75-330/25 BC. AR Stater (23.4mm, 10.78 g). Two wrestlers grappling; ΔΑ between them / Slinger in throwing stance right; triskeles to right; all within dotted square border. Tekin Series 4;
The upper left coin depicting emperor Antoninus Pius looks like a debased silver Tetradrachm minted in Alexandria, the capital city of Roman Egypt.
