    Hello I believe the first coin is Hephaistos
    same as:
    Sicily, Mytistratus 339-334 BC. Bronze
    Bearded head of Hephaestus with pileus right / Horse prancing right
    Campana 4 var; Cammarata 112; Calciati 3 var

    no problem my pleasure that is a scarce coin as well !,
    perhaps look into types from Phrygia for #2
    a bit of a speculation but :
    Phrygia, Laodicea ad Lycum Pseudo-autonomous issues
    not sure but the reverse matches on some pseudo autonomous types and some of augustus to tiberius perhaps the bust is of a Demos or similair

    checked out Phrygia on wildwinds, some close, but #2, bust has insription behind head, still trying to make the lettering out, found obverses simlar in sardes, lydia, with right hand outstreched and holding left down, some exaples were Athena, apollo, Zeus and Tyche, going to start again in wildwinds from A-Z,
    Thanks for your help
