Hello everyone

I have some problems with identifying this Indo-Scythian coin - 14g weight and 26mm diameter. It is described as a tetradrachm of Azes I or II, minted in Taxila. I didn't find any tetradrachm that matches (different size and weight, also my coin looks like made of copper instead of silver). I'm wondering if this is not a hexa chalkon instead of. Thank you very much for your help.

In fact, you guessed correctly, this type should be a hexa chalkon#65311; Maybe it is.
