Hello, I'm trying to identify some of my coins and any idea is very welcome. Thank you for your help!

1. Diameter 17x20mm, Weight 5.3gr
Couldn't go anywhere with this coin, I'm not even sure how to set the coin and get the photo correct.

Could the first image be a lion's head?

Hello, what makes you believe that this is a Greek coin? The detail does not seem clear enough to say much. In my view it could be celtic as well...

Novicius, it doesn't look like a lion but thanks for the idea.
Ancient, I'm not sure what is it, could be celtic but I have zero knowledge on celtic coins and I'm not sure how to search it, thank you.

Haven't found it yet, but definitely a horse prancing right when rotated.

Maybe a double strike or flip over double strike?

Parcial legend above horse?

Doucet, looks like an overstrike, the horse is clear.
Thank you so much!
