Hi,
It does look like Late Kushana or Post Kushana era Kidarite gold drachm. Here's a similar one,
https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?p=lot&sid=857&lot=845
There are coins which are made of of Base-Gold (u.e. less gold content) so that would explain it's pale color.
It might not hold much value as it's broken into 2.
Please post the other side of this coin for more accurate identification.

The whole kushans don't cost much as well. So not so much was lost.

From the letters to the right of coin and below the arm of the king, it seems to be that of Kushan king Kipanadha
