Here is an interesting one. A friend tentatively identifies it as a Kidarite stater(?). It is 21mm diameter and 7.9gm. Very thick and heavy for its size.

I found similar ones on a website http://www.anythinganywhere.com, but they all look pretty much alike to my eye.

If anyone with experience with these Kidarite coins can identify it a bit more narrowly, I would be grateful.

Don't have a lot of knowledge about this type. The legend is a bit difficult to read but from what I can tell it looks like it could be Vinayaditya, late 5th century, from the Kashmir region.
