This coin weighs 2.1g. I know this is a Western Kshatrapas Drachm. I was looking on the Coin India website pages and think this is a coin of Damajadasri III, what are your thoughts on this?

Thanks for the link. From that source I was able to determine my coin to be of Rudrasena II, Saka year 177 or 178 or 179=255-257AD.

Drnsreedhar's threads are so helpful especially because of the overlays.

Indeed, the overlays really solved the mystery. I am pretty sure the other Kshatrapa I listed is Rudrasena III, but its unfortunate that the Saka date is completely off the flan#128533;
