Great coin!
I've checked Michael Mitchener's "Indo-Greek and Indo-Scythian Coinage" (
MIG), Volume 6 (The Dynasty of Azes) and have a surprise for you: According to Mitchener, you have a
tetradrachm of Azes II. The reference is
MIG VI, Azes II (G)
Type 848h. Taxila Sirsukh B. See Chapter 18, page 552, the 21st coin shown in the group. Your
reverse of
Pallas Athena standing r., with
shield in her left hand, didn't appear among Azes I coin
types, unless they've been reattributed elsewhere. The
legend uses Rajadirasa.
Cheers~
