From Sicily, low grade, maybe Apollo from hairstyle / Figure standing

Micha,
This is a long shot, but if you rotate the reverse of the second coin 90 degrees clockwise, does that look like a wing above? Some parts of it do sort of resemble a swan with head reverted (preening), like some of the cruder issues from Ionia (Klazomenai and Leukai). Not everything matches up, though. If it's a swan, maybe an overstrike? Some examples of what I was thinking below.

I am looking the coin now Bob, make sense and I can see some details of the wing, I will try to figure out from the size/weight if is Leukai or Klazomenai
The other coin, could be a Mamertini? Apollo / Warrior, just the size and weight are not correct

Thank you Bob once again,
maybe is that one, I see an AI at the right field (AΛ)AI and something that looks like a lyre
need to study it some more to see if I can get the details, I think you are correct and I thank you a lot!
