These coins are often described with a "Zeus Nikephoros" reverse. I don't see a Nike here and there there is a club in his left hand. It would be a mighty stretch to call him Zeus, when the club is all Hercules.

Sorry, not Hercules.
The attribute of this one is faint but it's in left arm.

I think I see the staff of Hermes. So maybe Hermes.

dwayne8625 you are correct.
It's Hermes with caduceus on a Indo-Scythian, Azes II coin.
I'll be able to show both sides when I return home.
Mean while your up.

I'am not going to be on enough to go right now, so who ever wants to run it go for it.

I just haven't had much time lately to try and figure this one out.
I'll be working on it pretty soon. It's gonna be a tough one.

I'm not, I'm just not good with telling who the gods are.

Next up:  Edited to add: I may be sorry I chose this coin. I searched for coins with a particular goddess and posted this; then I checked the attribution write-up and am confused... Edited by ThisIsFun

Pax-Nemesis from a Claudius PACI AVGVSTAE denarius. Near the top of my want but unlikely to ever own list.
