Heres a couple more ancients, this time I'm fairly confident they are Greek in origin.

Any help appreciated, Thanks!

I was so confused... then I figured out the two sides of each coins weren't side by side...

I've figured out the smaller one: the ancient Greek city of Megara - the giveaway was when I finally read the four letters in between the two fish/dolphins as "MEGA". See the Wildwinds page for some examples of the type.

I can't pick the other one, though it looks Bactrian or Indo-Greek from the style.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
