The date is AH988, where the 9 is partially off flan
to the right I see 911, but that is part of the legend
Sultans of Jaunpur ?

PetrusAscanus is on the right track, an Indian sultanate coin, with a date ending in 88. Jaunpur sultanate stopped making coins before 988. Examining the date closely, it looks like it could be a partial 7 in front of the 88.

Following this line of reasoning, matched with a Delhi sultanate billon tanka of Firuz Shah Tughluq, Hadrat Delhi, minted 784-790 and later. Goron & Goenka D476.

Weight should be about 9 g. Nice coin.

Billon is an unspecified mixture of silver and copper. From the appearance this one is high in silver.
