To me it looks Indian, maybe Kushan? Kanishka?

Dear Tanit, Jay GT4, and Board,

The coin in question is a bronze of Ebusus (an island off of Iberia) with a squatting Bes on both sides.  It looks like what Clive Stannard would call a canonical issue rather than one of the imitations produced by the "Pompey pseudomints."  Here is another example:

Hope this helps.


Best regards,
