I found this reference
But am not sure about the mint of this one.
I find at 7 o'clock a 7 followed by what could be a 3 - so maybe 873?
Size: 20mm
Weight: 4.87gr

Dear maudry, the date is more like " Sanah 871 سنه ٨٧١ ", because the word above the date is " Sultanahu سلطانه ". The letter " Sen س " may be you thought is " 3 ٣ ".
" سلطان حسين بهادر خلد الله تعالى ملكه وسلطانه ", Sultan Husayn Bahadur Kallad Allah Ta'ala Mulkahu wa Sultanahu.

Coin collecting has a curious name. It is also called the "Hobby of Kings".

Thank you again to both of you.
Maythem,
First I did also consider 871 but then I opted for 873 because his 3rd reign started in 873 while his 2nd reign ended in 868.

Thank you maudry, I agree with you that it could be 3 because the top part of the digit " 3 ۳ " could have been merged with the word above the date. So the date " 873 ۸۷۳ " is most likely.
