@Ancientnoob knows a ton about Indian coins, he'll know what to say in a jiffy

 

Attribution appears to be correct - although I don't have that reference. This would be classified as a post-Mauryan civic issue of Taxila, Pushkalavati. When the Mauryan empire collapsed their vassals began to strike and cast their own coins. Yours has some nice Chaitya. Your denomination is also correct with the accepted dates.

 

Mine needs a new photo same denomination different variation.

 

Thanks, A.N. Good to know that I was on the right track.
Thanks, again.
