Obverse (would be the second picture) resembles me very much of Soter Megas (Kushan Empire). I'm a little confused about reverse. Can't help seeing some christian motif from late Romans or Byzantines (impossible, I know).
Besides - wonderful detail for such small coin.

It's a kind of magic...
1. New photoshop "repatination" effect?
2. hesitate to speak it out... real repatination?
Whatever it is, looks good to me.
