Ancient coin for ID

I'm no good on IDing ancients. Does anyone know what this one is that I found in a bulk lot?

What? Me Worry

​To me looks like a coin :°:D
Nice, but this is the ID and valuation forum, not standup comedy hour.

Kushan...probably this one:

QG
A gallery of my coins and artifacts can been seen on FORVM Ancient Coins
Good call, Kushan, Huvishka tetradrachm. Similar to the one cited but not identical.
There are several similar tetradrachms shown at

I don't see an exact match for the coin in question, but I think you have the kingdom, ruler, time period, and denomination.
Nice coin Neil. As the guys said above, it's definitely a Huvishka AE Tetradrachm. By design I would say it's Mithra seated cross legged but since the coin is quite worn I can't be more precise as long I can't see any clue about where this coin was minted.
Thanks everyone, anyone offering their expertise is always appreciated greatly. Does anyone have any idea what something like this is worth?

I am not updated with current market prices for coins of this area but I saw this coin years ago listed at prices around 40 USD in a similar condition to your coin but I don't know now.
