Two Greek ae types from cities never shown on this forum

Was going through a new lot of Greek coins and found two pieces from cities that I had never heard of (which after all these years is pretty amazing in itself). Not only that, as far as I can tell neither of these cities has had a single coin posted on this site.

Bubon, Lycia (2nd - 1st century BC) Ae: 12mm, 1.0gms
Obv: Draped bust of Artemis right
Rev: BOY above bow and quiver

Theodosia, Tauric Chersonesos (ca. 350 BC) Ae : 13mm, 1.9gms
Obv: Youthful bust left (I found one example in German and this was the translation)
Rev: ΘEOΔ-O: Forepart of bull left

Oh dang! I'm always surprised by what you have Brian. Nice pair!

 

Always fun to add new and rare cities to the collection!

 

Love the Theodosia, in great nick, congrats on picking up such rare coins.

 

So interesting about the name Theodosia. 700 years later, a Roman emperor with the same name. Nice find.

 

Great coins.

 

Awesome coins, Brian. Never heard of those cities either.

 

VERY cool, @Brian Bucklan ! Bubon cool name not heard.
