I think your coin is from late in the Kidarite kingdom of Central Asia (roughly Afghanistan/Uzbekistan-ish area) around 5th-6th century AD. For general historical information on the Kidarites, you can read the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidarites I found similar coins to yours in a book (Michael Mitchiner, "Oriental Coins and Their Values, volume 1: The Ancient and Classical World 600 BC- AD 650", types from around #3743-3769). Online the closest I was able to find were on this dealer's page (scroll down to the bottom for coins like yours): http://www.anythinganywhere.com/commerce/coins/coinpics/indi-kidara.html I think your first picture is upside-down; it shows the king standing. Your second picture shows the reverse type of Siva standing with a bull (the bull's head is very clear on your coin). A very cool coin, thanks for sharing!
Cool! I did a little photo-processing. Please feel free to download it for your use. Welcome to the ancient forum!
I was thinking its a bug not a bulls head. Got this coin as a bonus, has been covered with green oxide completely- brass brush has helped alot.
I have these rare & difficult to locate online coins. Don’t know a thing about them. I would love to though.... Steph
@StephKauai: Bottom coin is an Indo-Scythian drachm, not sure which king but I can make out the control marks of the Taxila mint. The other two are both Islamic, but not sure exactly where. It would help for all of them if you can post photos of both sides.
