Kushan 2

[Figleaf]

"Numismatique" knows it is Kushan but would like more detail. Obv shows king with sceptre right sacrificing on Zoroastrian fire altar left; rev shows a deity. Copper, 26 mm. 15 grams (are they really as heavy as that?). Original thread is here. Pictures adapted to bring out legend.

Are there enough characters visible on this coin to identify the ruler and the deity?

Again Kanishka Tetradrachm.
To the right of the king the edgetext downwards reads "Shao Ka" the text continues upwards on the left side of the king, but that is invisible here.

So that could be something like þAO KA-NHþKI (Shao Kaneshki), making it a different type?

See here, where the deity is Oesho.
