Two New Greeks - Thessalonika & Korykos - A Queston or Two

Just got two new cheap Greeks from eBay and I had a question/comment about them, wondering if I could get some help, opinions, etc.

The one on the left is from Cilicia, Korykos, and the only example (exact) that I could find was a red_spork sale here on Coin Talk - his and mine look very, very similar (die match?).

https://www.cointalk.com/threads/an...rykos-in-cilicia-circa-1st-century-bc.303030/:

My attribution came from this sale (thank you, red_spork!). I couldn't find any other matches for the ΔΙ behind the bust:

Cilicia, Korykos Æ21
(c. 1st Century B.C.)
Turreted head of Tyche right; ΔΙ behind / Hermes standing left wearing petasos and winged boots holding phiale & caduceus, ΚΩΡΥΚΙΩΤΩΝ right, EPI ER left. SNG Levante 791; cf. SNG France 1075; cf. SNG von Aulock 5679.
(6.91 grams / 21 mm)

The other one is a Macedonia/Thessalonica AE that is fairly common, but I cannot find my example (with the palm branch control mark below the horse).

Thessalonica, Macedonia Æ19
(c. 187 - 31 B.C.)
Helmeted head of Athena right / ATE ΘΕΣΣΑ ΛΟ ΝΙΚΗΣ free horse galloping right, palm branch (control symbol) below.
??????????
(6.37 grams / 19 mm)

Any help, other examples, etc. much appreciated.

There are large numbers of varieties with the Korykos. With some time you will probably find the right one on acsearch. Just takes some time and different spellings to sort through the listings.

 

CILICIA, KORYKOS CITY COINAGE
AE 19
OBVERSE: Turreted head of Tyche right; A behind. Circle of dots
REVERSE: ΚΩΡΥΚΙΩΤΩΝ, Hermes standing left, holding caduceus, ΕΥ/ΕΠΙ/ΕΡ in left field
Struck at Cilicia 1st century BC (100-30 BC)
5.87g, 19.42
SNG Levante 792; SNG France 1075

 

I did a search on ISEGRIM. SNG LEVANTE 0791 and SNG von Aulock #5678 have the ΔΙ. That's two examples out of about 46, so you would expect 4 or 5% of the online examples to have the same letters.

Thank you all for your help with these. These little Greek bronzes are outside my (limited) area of knowledge, but it has been fun researching them.
