Though the crescented three-arched hill symbol is also used on Taxilla coins, I think this coin is kakani from Sunga Dynasty.
I will try to see if I can get more details in any of my reference books later.

Thank you for the incredibly rapid reply!
It was offered to me for around $20, is that a decent price?
