The last one for now; I am starting to discover Greek coins. Excuse my ignorance for the time being! Any suggestions to its ID will be appreciated!

It is a Seleukid coin and you should look here to try to identify it.

Thanks Howard! Is this the right attribution:

Demetrius II, 1st reign, 145 - 138 B.C.
 Demetrius diad, youthful
 Demeter veiled & draped, long torch in r
 235
 7069
 
as far as it's determinable. The quality is not optimal.

The portrait is radiate and laureate, the legends reads ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΑΝΤΙΟΧΟΥ ΕΠΙΦΑΝΟΥΣ ΔΙΟΝΥΣΟΥ .

The coin is a serrated Antiochos VI Epiphanes Dionysos, 144-142/1 BC,
Radiate and laureate Antiochos VI r / ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΑΝΤΙΟΧΟΥ ΕΠΙΦΑΝΟΥΣ ΔΙΟΝΥΣΟΥ, Nike standing l, holding wreath and palm.
Sear GCV II, 7084, HGC 9, 1052 (R2), probably Ptolemais (Ake)
