Sorry, can't really make out enough detail to see that it is a portrait - different contrast? But maybe 'Ancientnoob' will jump on that one and get it in one go.
Note: Don't have much diversity left myself, some of the portraits definitely too easy (eg Marius) and others barely recognisable (eg Allectus)

Im still holding onto the idea that it is a bronze coin and Kushan's tend to have a standing king. Not all that common in Central Asia.

If it was Azes he would be on horse back. The deity is on the reverse, in a standing position.

 "not 'Augustus_Maximus' - might get something more diverse." The reason why I only post LRB is because that's all I have left aside from a few easy Antoninianii and Denarii. Back to counting sheep

I know, but with the cut-out shown , I consider it a remote possibilty that it from a mounted Azes.
Postscript:
Based on the more recent posts, I let 'Bob_L' and 'Ancientnoob' sort this one out.
