Hi all,
Another week and another couple needing ID from me. Greek again, I think.
The coin on the left is 17mm in diameter and weighs 6.6g. The one on the right is 21mm and 7.2g.
Thank you everyone.

Both are Macdeonian, 4th century BC.

The left coin is, I believe, Philip II. Reverse reads ΦIΛIΠΠOY. Monogram with trident below the horse, similar to:

The right coin is Kassander. Reverse legend is ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΚΑΣΣΑΝΔΡΟΥ. For reference: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=4715923

Hi Echizento,
Yes, particularly the Philip II. The reverse detail on that one is very strong.
Is that residual silver wash I see around the periphery on each side?
Since sharing here I'm really getting into these ancients and consider myself fortunate to have inherited such a diverse and interesting group.
