Dear all,

 

I got this coin - and I am still struggling to clearly identify it. I guess it is from India, Sultanate of Bahmani:

Is anyone there who can help to provide more details…?

  • Diameter: 21 mm
  • Thickness: 5.6 mm
  • Weight: 15.9 g
  • Material: copper (probably) - not magnetic

Just confirming the skillful attribution of Vic65. Here's an example from Zeno (struck with different dies).

Always glad to help,  I have a huge collection myself.   zeno is always the best place to view hand struck coins like this, unlike Numista you can view multiple examples of the same type showing different parts of the dies. The date can be seen at the bottom on some examples
