    AE 19 mm, 5.61 g, 12 h.

    Obv.: head of a young diademed king to right
    The standing deity on rev. holds what is obviously a sceptre topped by some orb and an uncertain object. This deity is wearing boots: could it be Artemis?
    The legend is BAΣΙΛΕΩΣ / [ ... ]. In left field, two letters I read ΔΠ...

    I am probably missing some obvious point but I cannot ID this coin. Many thanks in advance !

    EDIT : FOUND

    STOP !!! I found it !
    Yes, I was missing some obvious point : it's not Artemis but Dionysos ...
    It's Alexander II Zabinas, AE denomination B. Seleucid Coins (2) 2229.

    Sorry for the pointless thread... I don't know if I can suppress it.

    EDIT : Thanks to @Monolith, he replied precisely when I was typing this post.
