Hello everyone!
A seller is offering these two coins in auction.
They look shady but I didn't manage finding similar ones on the fakes gallery etc.

Firstly the Mazaios coin features a lion eating a stag instead of a cow, something that appears on some similar coins but not with this reverse.

Then the styling of the Lysimachos tetradrachm strikes me as odd, but then I found some similar ones being sold on legit auctions.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Not my area of collecting, but the fabric looks good. The test cut on the second looks to be genuine as well.

as travelcoin said, the mazaios stater looks good, but I am not sure of the authenticy. It is an emission of Mazaios as satrap about 360 BC ans very scarce see references SNG BN 332 ans SNG Levante 103.Check the fiability of the auction house, because these coins are to expensive. albert
