My apologies .... Its been a crazy day. I should have checked in to let you know. Thanks for taking on the 'job' for me. Against my better judgement I will venture a guess (again) Persephone ?

Oak makes me think Persephone as well but with the grapes maybe Dionysios?

hmm I would guess the mother of Persephone with Demeter. I feel like it's wrong since she would probably be represented with grain instead but worth the shot.

This is an informative post! I have no knowledge of these coins but love the history. One of my first experience of Greek/ Roman Mythology was my freshmen year at South High 1964, Worcester MA.
Still remember the topic and pictures.

Looks like a Sassanian Drachm, so it would be Mithra.
