Unknown copper coin / Sunface falus, Herat mint

[petar.mne]

Diameter 16mm. Came in a lot of various coins so it could be anything

If it's Cu, your best guess is probably in the sea of Afghan civic copper. I can imagine the second image reading W A HA or HAT, which is not much use.

Thank you Jonathan, I agree it is Afghanistan copper coin minted in " Herat هراة " but what about the otherside.

[jkk]

Thank you, Maythem. I was hoping you'd opine. I suspect that a tree design is a logical possibility for the other side, given what we can see. I don't think that much stringency was placed on alignment (nor do we know here). I can't make out anything like text on that other side, unless we posit that the swooshes are final or isolated tooth letters--and if so, what would lead into them and why would they be crammed so closely? Not consistent with what I have seen, so I think if Petar can find a design with those swooshes from Herat, he might have a positive attribution.

Thank you Jonathan, the other side could be "Sunface".  In the following link, it shows a sunface copper coin mistakingly called Herat mint but it reads " zarb Falus Tabriz ضرب فلوس تبريز  ":

I believe that you have a quite credible and positive ID there. عمل ممتاز يا ميثم.

Maythen, I think that your first suggestion was the good one, with  the letters read by jkk : "Herat"
And congratulations to have detectecd the sunface, that wasn't easy !!

For me, its well a sunface copper of Herat, with parts of : " بلدهَ هراهَ  city of Herat"
Such writing indicates a coin likely struck before the early 10th c. AH
(the pattern is from a fals dated 861 AH)

Thank Saro, yes for the Second photo, it fits well:
هر
بلدة ا ة  , Baldat (Her)at (City of Herat)
ضرب  , zarb (not visible)
date at the bottom
