I have scrolled through all the Greek and Roman list and web search this coin and turned up with nothing.

any ideas?

Indo-Scythian: Azes I (ca. 57-35 BC) AR Drachm (Hoover-646)

Obv: ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΝ ΜΕΓ ΑΛΟΥ ΑΖΟΥ; Amored Scythian King advancing right on horseback with lowered spear. Kharosthi letter in exergue.
Rev: ?????? ????? ????? ??? (Maharajasa rajarajasa mahatasa Ayasa); Athena Promachos standing left, brandishing thunderbold and shield. Monogram to the left, Kharosthi letter to right (if any)

Great, thank you for the info. That is a serious list of these coins in the link you provided, very interesting.

​The aftermath of Alexander the Great and his Generals in Asia...

Before I asked for ID the Alexander the Great were the coins I looked through, just couldn't find this one.

This particular series in under Indo-Greeks, but this coin is not present in the catalog...

​Quant, can you provide a public list (or at least PM me) of all the websites and references you use? I'm sure it would help the community with identifications and help them learn more about their coins.

​I'll compile a list, but some of this already exists on worldofcoins.eu under the various Indices I created....

any idea on value of this coin? yet again I have exhausted my brain trying to find this exact one and put a value to it.

This is a very common coin and hence you should have no problem finding a value for it. Googling "Azes I drachm" produced http://www.ancientresource.com/lots/holyland_artifacts/three_kings_wise_men.html as a simple hit. Note that there is some "confusion" as to whether this coin belongs to Azes I or Azes II as the legends are identical...

Also, get an account on acsearch.info, the BEST and FREE archive of coin auctions possible. Much better than coinarchives as you have to pay for the pro version. See http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=azes+i&category=1-2&en=1&de=1&fr=1&it=1&es=1&ot=1&images=1&currency=usd&thesaurus=1&order=0&company= for sample prices of what the coin goes for in the various conditions...

That's not what I meant by can't find any. I found several links like that, but there are so many random prices from different sites I don't know which one is correct.

as you just stated, there are confusions and striking similarities to other coins of that period.

That's what I mean by exhausted, I cant find enough of this exact coin to get a good idea of its value.

The one in your link shows $225 and I found another almost identical for $60.

Ah. Misunderstood what you requested. $225 is way too much for this coin, even in a good condition. I wouldn't pay more than $125 to $150 for a stellar coin, so I would put your coin around the $30-$50 range. I purchased a pretty good, similar coin for about $60 a while ago...

I can accept that, good enough to satisfy my question.

Thanks for taking the time to help out, appreciated as always.
