    I've recently acquired a lot of ca. 15 ae Greek coins from @AnYangMan, and though I've been able to ID most of them, two proved to be too difficult (luckily, they were also left unidentified by @AnYangMan :shame:)

    The first one:

    Obv: Head of apollo?
    Rev: Lyre, legend: Θ (?)
    Weight: 0.8g; Ø:7mm

    Second one:

    Weight: 1.13g; Ø:7mm

    Any help is appreciated!

    No idea about the first coin, but the second one looks similar to this one:

    Thanks @Orielensis, I think you're spot on with Autokane.

    This example is from Numismatik Nauman (https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=2288902). The female figure is quite similar; the wreathed male (Zeus on this coin; probably Apollo on mine) is different. I'll just label it as Aeolis, Autokane until proved otherwise ;)

    Any input on the first coin with the Lyre?
