Definitely a Kushan or later Kushan period coin. The reverse shows the deity Shiva(Oesho) with bull standing behind. Not sure of the ruler though. Looking at the tamga's on the coin, maybe it belongs to Vima Kadphises

Thanks guys,

I sent the pictures to Zeno so lets see if I get a reply there.
If I do I will let you know here.

Thank you and best regards,

Paul

No reply yet unfortunately.
Parimal I think you are right but could not yet find the same, saw some gold coins which from the designs looks almost same.

Yes it was difficult to find more info on this coin online but finally found a research paper mentioning a similar coin.

Checkout the pages 18&19 in this paper for more details about this coin.

Great attribution and research, Parimal! I had checked the listings on coinindia.com, which are generally pretty comprehensive for Kushan coins, and was unable to find a match, but you have found it in this paper.

Sorry for the late reply.

Thank you so much Parimal, I can see that it was really not easy to identify this piece. Kushan Empire coins are really fascinating as is the rich history of India.
I hope to visit this country one day.

Thank you and best regards,

Paul
