I'm sorry, my mistake. I didn't finish my speech before…

I'm looking on Numista, but I not found coin.

Could someone confirm me that is it not present?

Ok I found the right section om Numista, now

There is a very good paper on the king names and dates of the Western Kshatrapa coinage: https://people.bu.edu/ptandon/WK-Legends.pdf


I don't think that it's the same coin that you've linked. That one belongs to Bhartrdāman, and the name of the ruler is legible: 


I think yours have a different ruler name, but I'm not sure, which. Most of the visible text is just the title of the king and the father of the king, which is very formulaic and pretty much the same. The clue should be the name of the king/father of the king. But that is only partially present on your coin. I think that one of those starts with Rudra…, which is not so helpful, as there are a couple of rulers with that name.

I think this might be your coin: N#50847


Many many thanks for all the explanations and for your time to do that
