Picked up a handful of ancients recently that I want to share. Looking for thoughts, opinions, and verification of my attributes. (And IDing for the few a can't figure out)

Coin #6/20:

Unknown AE
Obv: Figure crouched or seated right.
Rev: Figure standing right, arm reaching, holding something?
2.28g - 13mm

Thought this may be Indo Scythian or Kushan but couldn't find anything similar myself. Could really use help figuring this one out!

I agree it looks Indo-Scythian, perhaps a bronze drachm with king on horseback and Athena/Nike/Pallas reverse. There seem to be a lot of similar designs:

Thanks John! Yeah the reverse design of the one on Numista is exactly right. Good to know I'm looking in the right spot.

I'm just not seeing a horse on the obverse though. I'll be trying to match some of the lettering on the reverse to id a ruler, I think there should be enough there to make a match.
