I've not given the first coin an awful lot of thought - I'm guessing its Seleucid, the bust looks to be female and the reverse has a tower or some kind of alter on it perhaps with flames.

The second coin has been on this site before unsuccessfully and also a few other sites, again I, or anyone else was unable to 100% ID it. Any help welcome.

Coin 1: 0.80 grams, 11mm, 1mm thick.
Obv: Female bust right.
Rev: Alter / tower.


Coin 2: 1.30 grams, 11mm, 2mm thick
Obv: Male bust right with helmet / hat.
Rev: 'TIOXE' above 'ΠTOΛE' above cornucopia, possibly something below.


I cant really say anything else about the first coin but I think the second coin is a Phoenicia Ptolemais-Ake Dioskouroid, similar but not identical to these examples:

Thanks in advance.
