The Roman coin looks like this one:

Gordian III AR Antoninianus
RIC 189 (Roman Imperial Coins, a catalog)
IMP CAES M ANT GORDIANVS AVG, radiate draped bust right
PAX AVGVSTI, Pax walking left with branch and sceptre.

Nice additions. If those were the prices you paid, you had a great score.

You really should read the info cards, they told you pretty much anything you needed to know

They really didn't start dating the coins regularly at that point yet so it's generally not possible to determine the exact year, the best you can get is to figure out when the ruler ruled from. Although, sometimes it can be determined exactly what year the coin was issued, but I don't know enough to do that!
