Maybe it is just me, but your pics aren't showing up.

Apparently having a certain three letter acronym in your file names causes the forum's filter to automatically convert it to another 3 letter acronym when uploaded, breaking the links.

I believe your coin is Kushan, most likely Huvishka. Similar to this type.  |

Well done, Echizento, it does bear quite a resemblance. Now I have to go find out what "Kushan" is.

A site I found lists this type of coin as an AE tetradrachm complete with Greek lettering! Learning new stuff here since I had no idea that India and Greece had any connection previously.
I won the coin I posted for $0.99. Not bad for something this old!
