Hello guys,
So I recently got these 2 ancient coins and I was wondering if someone can help me identify them. Which years do they date back to? Also, Where did they come from exactly?
Thanks in advance!

Here are the 2 coins:

The first one:
Help-Identifying-Ancient-Greek-Coins

The second one:
Help-Identifying-Ancient-Greek-Coins

Thanks again!

The seller's description of the first ebay link is "Ionia, Milet, diobol". Ionia is a region of what is now western Turkey. "Milet" is the way this seller spells "Miletus" or "Miletos", a now-ruined city on the Ionian coast. "Diobol" is the denomination. Click here for the Wildwinds Miletus page, then scroll down to the coin labelled "SNGCop 948". That's pretty close to this coin. It dates from roughly 400 BC, plus or minus a century.

The seller has not provided any info on the second coin; presumably, they don't know anything about it, either.
