9.22 grams, 20.16mm 4.1mm thick. copper alloy, I've got no Idea on this one.  apologies ahead of time if I have the coin upside down. I'm just not sure which way is up with this one.

The monogram on your second photo points to the Indo-Parthians. Can not make sense of the first side though.

Your coin should certainly be an Indo-Parthian coin of Gondophares-Sases.
Maybe, the first side should be turned in a fitting position. It is a pitty, there are so few specimens of this coins on the www to find the right position by means of the partial legend.
Underneath is a coin of Numista, but there are more on the internet to convince you:
