I am pretty sure the coin is from the Western Satraps.

They are start looking the same after a while when you can't read the language.

I am leaning towards this one: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces35038.html

Close?

Hi,
It is Rudrasena-II, https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces50847.html

This PDF is very useful to read legend on western satrap coins, http://people.bu.edu/ptandon/WK-Legends.pdf

Thanks Sujit,
I'm adding the book to my collection now. Looks very useful. I may have to go buy another Western Straps coin just to try it on now...
