Picked this coin up at antique/coin store thinking it was my first Ancient Greek coin however I think it might be from Ancient India
Any help is appreciated

99% sure it's not Indian; there's only a handful of silver coins that small that show a portrait, and it's not Indo-Greek or Yashaaditya.

I would maybe check in central Asia?

What's the weight?
Rest in Peace

The writing looks Aramaic (center line on reverse)or older Hebrew, but this is not a Maccabees era coin I recognize...but some time and area nearby perhaps?

Clearer pictures would help without the cent in the background.

No idea here. I'm just posting so this thread is on my feed. I'm fascinated by the identification of these old coins.
