I haven't a clue to the ID of this coin. I suspect a Bactrian origin. Should I clean it or leave it as is? Thanks.

I suspect this coin is Kushan. It looks a bit like this one:

The coin is already cleaned as far as need be. Both examples demonstrate how these are usually found with much legend off flan. For a long time this ruler was only known as Great King but inscriptions recently linked him to Vima making this an interesting example of how you can be so high and mighty that no one remembers your name.
