Hi guys is this a durrani overstruck?

I think it is Afghani overstruck on Afghani (possibly twice), though I haven't found the type with the 'tree' in Valentine or Krause.

Sikh paisa ?
Although it looks like an Afghan coin, the fractions of legends do not seem to belong to Durrani or Afghan civic coppers.
The remaining parts of the text could fit with the sikh formula (referring to Guru Govind Singh).
I've seen a similar coin before, overstruck too, with this curious same little cross in a circle and these two digits 12 (12xx AH ?).

Too thin for a Sikh paisa I think, and the fine lines of the inscription look very Afghani to me. We need Maythem to have a look at it I think.

Yes Alan, you are right; I recovered a picture of the coin I was speaking of, it shows good parts of the mint : "Kabul" and the same crossin a circle.
Even if some words on Desibot's coin are still puzzling, it's likely this mint too.

and today Jkk posted this coin with the same cross in center of a flower, with another reverse design : it's very interesting because we have here likely the die of one of the multistrikes.
