![]() I can't ID the coin but I think I can give you some additional direction. The full reverse description looks to Demetrios Basliews (Delta HMHTPIOY BASILEWS). There were Macedonian, Seluecid and Bactrian kings with this name.
The obverse had the head wearing an elepahnt sin headress. I know Alexander the Great issued coins wiht this type of bust. THis may narrow the focus to Macedonian and Seluecid coinage. Regards, Matt |

![]() The difference you note is minor. The difference you note is a monogram. It may denote the mint or be just some other type of mark the minters used to regulate the coinage. There is no doubt that your coin is of Demetrios I of Baktria. Here is another example that is similar:
