Hello! I'm trying to identify some of my Greek coins and any idea is very welcome. Thank you for your help!

Diameter 15x17mm, Weight 6.4g, Bronze

Helmeted Athena ? / Bull
Maybe from Thourioi at Lucania but I am not 100% sure due to the low quality.

That's a tough one to identify. I have a couple in my collection, badly worn, I wrote on the flip, unknown.

Thank you Livingwater and Palouche,
it's a Bull, not a she wolf

tenbobbit, I think is more likely to be from Thourioi
https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=7053938
but the Pella coin you posted is also very near, I study it earlier this morning
the difference is mainly on the head
also at the lot my coin is included, all the coins so far are from ancient Italy, Kentoripai, Sicily, Neapolis (Naples), Lucania (i have a couple more with Bull to identify from the same lot)
that's the main reason I believe is from Thourioi
but the weight still remains an issue
for now is uncertain with Thourioi as first option and Pella as second
