Hello I have been pondering over this Ancient Coin for a while, but I have made no progress. I was wondering if anyone could or would be able to help. I do Know that the Diameter is around 23mm, and the edge width is about 1.5mm. I am not quite sure what the inscription is, but I do know that it is a local coin from Taxila from circa 200BC.  I believe it is Bronze or solely Copper.

Hi Sorry I am replying so late, Yeah I think you may be right, I noticed another 8 followed by a point (•) beside the x with what I think are two or three latin i’s. maybe Philip III / Philip II?
