a nice sunface and "Raij Rasht"  in a dotted pear-shaped cartouche .
"Rasht"  in small characters at bottom is somewhat difficult to detect...

That sun is a beauty. I believe there is a series of local Indian coins with a similar sun. On a planchet in this shape, I'd expect something quite crude. The fine detail on both sides is an indication of the excellent condition your coin is in. Congratulations.

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