When you say 'very close' my next guess has to be

Nice clear coin - hope that none of the green stuff is active.
Just back from shopping, will soon select a coin to post.

Here one where the portrait is a little bit affected by the desert patina, so I start telling that it is a Roman emperor.  |

Good morning to you, they shut the server down so that you could recover from your big birthday party.  Now I have to go and grab my magnifying glass, the picture you posted is tiny - first reaction is 'Western Kshatrapas' or successor coinage. |
