Okay, before I think about Baktria let's give a Seleucid a shot:
Alexander II (Zebina)

Christmas shopping - wasting money on food instead of buying coins.  (How long are the shops open in the USA?) And the Queenslanders instead of watching it on TV might be at the Test Cricket. Unfortunately many of the portraits look quite similar, so not really that easy. Antiochos VII, Euergetes |

I don't know. If it's not Philip I, its Antiochus VIII.

Stores are open to 9 PM around here will be open late next week though. Still not the right ruler, later time period.

It certainly looks Seleukid although there are some Cappadocian king coins with very similar portraits.
Philip I Philadelphos is the best bet, as Noob says. The hair looks right.

Okay, I'll go. Most of my relatively few Roman coins have portraits which are far too easy and most Greek coins show deities rather than rulers. Here's one which might be fun though. The coin is not in great shape-- it was in a mixed lot.  |

Not Claudius, but I see why that was a reasonable guess. Weak chin.
