Attribution Help for Seleukos II Bronze with Quadriga Reverse

These two coins came in a small group I bought recently. They are Seleukid Kingdom types (both are 16mm) issued by Seleukos II Kallinikos, with the Nike driving quadriga reverse.

I've seen a lot of Seleukid types but have never seen this reverse in hand before. I did find a single example online with the quadriga right reverse, but no examples with the quadriga going left.

I'm hoping someone has an attribution for both of these issues.



Would be interesting to see any bronze Greek pieces you may have issued in the name of a King.

Bump for anyone who may know.

Nice coins though, Brian.

Thanks for posting Brian! I am always looking around for Bronzes from the Greek areas as they always seemed to focus on Silver. Yours are really cool; sorry but I am not an expert to help.

These are some of my Bronze issues by Greek Kings:

SMALLER Ptolemies seem a little harder to find...

Seleucid Seleucus I 312-280 BCE AE 20 Athena-Elephant Spaer 129

 

Thanks for taking the time to research these coins. If you happen to find the attribution for the second coin please let me know.

 

@Alegandron :

Nice coins. I really like those Seleucus I elephant issues.

 

Yeah, I agree. I got it as a "Placemarker" for Seleukid I, and am targeting a Tet or Drachm for later. But with the Elephant, and being Bronze; it makes it a "fun" coin to have. I am not collecting Seleukids, rather I am focusing on Philip II's and Alexander III's generals and later Kings (Alexandrines...).
