I have these two small silver Greek Ancient coins.

I cannot identify them, and I would be surprised if anyone else can, but you have done so well in the past with putting me on the right road. . . .

Any help is appreciated.

Coin No. 1 AG11, Wt 0.6 gm

The second coin's reverse is unlike any archaic incuse I've come across and therefore I wonder about its authenticity. Maybe it's just something I've never seen-- I certainly come across such coins regularly :)

The first coin, if authentic, is going to be tough. The second image might be the correct orientation. Possible figures include winged man headed bull and other winged creatures. A good place to browse for possibilities is http://asiaminorcoins.com/ . Focus on Ionia, Caria, and Mysia for starters.

I have filtered the light source for the photos and as a result I believe that I have a better set of photos for display. Any help, anyone can give that would help to attribute this coin is appreciated.

Here are the ones for the first coin.
