I believe what you have is an Indic square drachma of Apollodotus, similar, but not identical, to this one.

Mackaydon, As usual, you are a genius. Worth your weight in gold!

Tom,
Thanks for the kind words.
I enjoy the challenge to ID-- which, perhaps, provides me with equal excitement compared to those who find such artifacts.

I dug a little deeper into researching the coin since it intrigues me. Placing the left coin in its proper alignment (with the horse and rider upright) the then left margin legend is the Greek word [FONT=&quot]ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ which translates to "King".Below the horse's feet is the word [/FONT][FONT=&quot]ΑΖΙΛΙΣΟϒ which translates to the word "Aziles". Aziles was the ruler in an area of Bactria (a region of modern Afghanistan) called Gandhara between 65 and 45 BC.

I just noticed two things; one, you're a Newbie--so Welcome to Treasure Net !!
Second, I see that you are from Pakistan KPK. Afghanistan border KPK to the northwest, so your find of this unusual coin is very exciting.
Keep searching the area where you found this coin; there may be more !!
