    CoinArchives is an excellent site for finding and identifying both ancient and modern coins. It's search engine is a bit unwieldy, it only tends to list the more expensive items - the sort of coins that are sold singly at brick-and-mortar auction houses (which is where most of the data is collected from) - and many of those auctions are in Germany, so much of the text is in German. Even with these "flaws", it's still a very useful tool.

    WorldCoinGallery is another free-access coin database; this one is a private compilation but tends not to list the earlier, more obscure and more expensive items.

    Neither database is anywhere near comprehensive, but between the two of them, you can usually find info on just about any Western coin. Zeno.ru is better than both at finding Eastern and Islamic coins.
