At 8mm, the bronze may be an Apollo/nymph combo from Autokane, 4th century BC.

Micha, here is a speculation about the AR. Size is right for an obol from Halikarnassos, Caria. It takes some imagination to see this, but perhaps it might be a forepart of Pegasos obverse and a leashed goat head within the incuse reverse - both struck off-center. The size and weight work well. Style of the engraving seems to have varied greatly with these issues.
