anusin

I have 3 coins in this type...........

On your 2nd coin, I see a date : 1082 , the other face looks better to Val. 176 than 177 ?

anusin

it is look like No.176 to me(but I am not very sure)............No.177 is double eagle with wings & two head

all my this type coins are with low weight and small size.

anusin

my third coin of this series.....overstruck on other coin...weight 3.0 gm,diameter 19.61 mm.......

I can see date 12x2 on obverse.......but there is another date xx82 on reverse

saro

This 3rd coin gives us the solution to the puzzle  :)  !
it is of Herat and the date that I supposed to be 1082 is likely "1282" (what I took for a dot is a part of the leg of "2" with a shock); and then we can say that it's an afghan civic copper at time of Barakzaï.
