Thank you!

These look to be quite rare - not a single example on VCoins - I found an auction record saying 2 of them went for $65

Bob L is correct. It is a Vishnukundin coin. This is issued between fifth and sixth centuries in South Eastern part of India now falling in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Orissa
