The first is a nice example of a carthaginian bronze from the period 400 -330 BC. Bust of Tanit obverse with horse / palm tree reverse.

The second is from Macedionia from the time of Philip II (Alexander III's dad). My apologies for the scan quality. Coin is very dark and didn't want to be seen. Apollo to right obverse, boy on horse reverse. I've not been able to attribute that one onwildwinds or elsewhere as yet. if anyone spots it, let me know smile.gif
