I love these coins but am terrible at attributing them. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank You,
Doug

I have looked through there as well as several other online resources and cannot find a match. I am in hopes that there is a reference book out there somewhere that someone has access to.

@doug, I really don't know much about these, but it looks to me like the circle with the dot near the top of the first pic is the hump on the Brahman bull. If that is so, then you can see a small sliver of the eye on the coin's edge and then the remaining lines from 12:30 to 2:30 might be the bottoms of the letters in the name of the ruler. Unfortunately, that is as far as I can get you.

@spence - I am sure that you are right. I have been attempting to match to bottom of the letters to those on other coins as well as the unique "square" body of the bull, under the hump and the unique feature on the horseman side at the 12:30 position (sort of looks like an upside down pine tree). I can find similar bull sides with different horseman sides and similar obverses with different reverses. I cannot match the bottoms of the letters though.
