I took another long trip through MWI without finding this one. It came in a bag with a bunch of late medieval Afghan bronzes, many dated around AH 957, but this is not like those. 7.74g, about 21mm average diameter. Anyone able to attribute it, or point me to the right place?

It's a copper coin of Kabul mint.
2nd picture needs a 80° rotation and shows good parts of "dar al-sultanat Kabul"
Undated, it shows the reverse of rupees of the 3rd reign of Shah Shuja al-mulk (1255-58) and can be attributed to this period with some confidence.

That's wonderful, saro, thank you. I'm sorry about the rotation; I looked at it and could not find a spot where I felt that a proper rotation was clear enough, so I took a guess and hoped.
