Help with these two ancients

Hello, just trying to identify these but have no leads. I looked through Sear’s Greek Coins vol. 1 and 2 carefully, but nothing. The online searches I always try (wildwinds, RPC, etc) assume I know the city/location, and key words are too general (cornucopia, bust right, etc). I appreciate it. The loose one is 16/17 mm

Pontos amasia, on the left perhaps and maybe odessos in Thrace on the right

 

Maybe not pontos one on left but one on right
Odessos mint Apollo head - great god reclining
Hope that helps

 

I appreciate it. That helps. I’ll do some further research with that suggestion. Thanks!

 

The 1st (slabbed)coin appears to be Ptolemaic Egypt.

I would start with looking @ Arsinoe III, wife of Ptolemy IV Philopator.

Cleopatra VII also has a coin type that has been attributed to her minted in Paphos(Cyprus) that is similar to yours.

 

interesting, ill look into it. Thanks!

 

I din’t notice any coin dimples in the coin though. Ideally they’re supposed to go away when struck but i think most of the time something shows. Or did egypt strike coins differently sometimes?
