The lack of beard, unusual headdress, and right-facing bust is making this difficult. Still investigating :)

Think I'm going to have to call it quits on this one. Looking forward to the reveal, the attribution, and the history!

Ok guys I have my new computer, YAY. I will be out of internet on the computer for a while why set everything up. The coin is similar in style to the coins of the Western Satraps but it is not one of them, it dates to a little know period just before the Saka era begins. These coins were found in hoards along side the coins of the Indo Greek kings...This coin has 3 languges on it but on my example the obverse Greek legend is not visible...His one king empire was destroyed in yr. 18 of his regin according to the historical record.

The last coin was a challenge. This one should be very easy.

Wonder of wonders, I finally correctly guessed a Constantine era coin! Next up, chosen from the internet. Caught my eye because I hadn't seen this hairstyle before. Nice craniotomy, too
