Hi Guys,
This small copper coin weighs 2.11 g and has a diameter of 12.3 mm. I've been unable to find it in GG or Krause or Zeno. The previous suggested attribution was a 1/6 falus of Burhan Nizam Shah II of the Nizam Shahs of Ahmednagar, but I can't find any support for that. Do you have any ideas? (Sorry, I probably should have posted this on the Sultanates board, but I'm not sure where it belongs)

The second picture is out of focus. It may help if you can replace it with a better photo.

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

OK, here's a sharper photo of the second side. Unfortunately there are hardly any additional details visible. I'm unsure of the orientation of this photo.

Thank you. Your work hasn't been in vain. I now see additional design elements at 12 and perhaps 4 o'clock as well as below the wavy line. Intuitively, I'd have turned it 180° but that's just based on patterns, not letter recognition.
