If it were later the coin would have be of a more degraded bust and stylistically inferior, even for well struck high grade examples.

I told you earlier, when you said Rudrasena II before you edited it. I hope that helps.
Nero.

Rudrasena II was to the best of my knowledge the father of Bhartrdaman. But Nero is right:  Tetradrachm from year 12 (=AD65+) of Nero minted in Alexandria - Cologne#172 / Sear[ME]#2004 Obverse: NERO KLAV KAIS SEB GER around radiate bust right wearing aegis Reverse: AVTOKRA around bust of Alexandria right, wearing elephant skin, in field L IB

Rudrasena II (AD 380-385). Bhartrdaman (AD 278-295).  Seeing as though you are well versed in the Western Satraps this should be easy for you...again...

Have to disagree with you on the timing, all references I have seen have Rudrasena II (~255-277) as father of Bhartrdaman. The 380-385 time-frame fir more with Rudrasena III or IV. May I ask what reference you use?
