Can anyone help me - I'm trying to decipher this Greek inscription. At present I can only read ΣΙ on the reverse - perhaps ΔΗΣΙ?

My guess is that the head is Apollo but so far I've looked through hundreds of coin pictures and found no match.

It's either Roman provincial or Greek. I'm inclining towards Greek.

Any thoughts from the experts?

Thanks - I'd just got to the same conclusion having moved my deciphering from two letters to four. Very helpful all the same.

Closest I can find to it is a Moushmov 1535.
