It's a Western Satrap from India. The reverse is aligned right and there really isn't enough legend to come up with a name, so I'll have to try and match the face. Here is a link to the series: http://coinindia.com/galleries-kshatrapas.html

It seems to look like Rudrasena II to me.

Nice coin @stonewall! I bought one of these recently, although ancient India is outside of my main current area of interest.

My guess is Bhartrdaman:

Hard to tell as most of the ruler's name and the patronymic are corroded.

I tried to enhance the picture a bit, but I still can't tell for sure.

Here are a couple I posted not too long ago. You can see how the reverse should be aligned. http://goccf.com/t/290849

I sent your images over to an expert on these coins, hopefully I get an answer for you soon.

Steve you were right. I heard back from Pankaj Tandon and he confirmed it was Bhartrdaman. http://coinindia.com/galleries-bhartrdaman.html
