This small coin looks similar to coins of Gwalior Mandasor mint on one side but coin has Islamic legends

I presume not Gwalior, but Mewar feudatory Salumba.

Thank you Oesho, no photo in KM to compare so I guess it's 2 Pies

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

asm's is also on zeno and I've added mine as well, both coins would never have been attributed without Oesho as there is nothing on the internet or in KM to show what Salumba coins look like  :o

Therefore I will add a few samples more.

The denomination must either paisa or half paisa. 2 pies is no denomination, it is either 1 pie or 3 pie.

2 paisa or pice = 1/2 anna
paisa or pice = 1/4 anna = 3 pie
1/2 paisa or pice = 1/8 anna
pie = 1/12 anna.

The weight of my specimen is resp.: 5.52, 5.75 and 4.59 g.

Three good specimens there Oesho, the centre one looks most like mine with the leaf symbol, probably quite a few of these coins remain unattributed in various collections

The actual name of the place is SALUMBAR and not SAMUMBA
