Hello,
This copper falus seems from Kabul mint there is maybe a date on reverse I read 1305 or 1250 please help me for correct attribution
Weight is 9.69 g Diameter 26.6 mm
Thank you

The closer I found is Zeno #97354 but there is variation on design
see picture of the Zeno coin below

Can not say much on attribution, but the second photo in your startpost has to be turned 90 degrees clockwise to be in correct position.

The second pic was probably posted this way so that the date would be in the correct position. FWIW, I read it as x335.

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

 Nice coin  :perfect:
Zeno #97354 seems to be the good type with 5 spearheads and 2 swords, but I'm afraid that there is no date...
With a 90] rotation of obverse that gives only "zarb falus Kabul"

Thank you everybody  :D
The weight and the design doesn't match for late strike IMO
The 1235 AH could be a better candidate than 1305 AH as I thought first

I hadn't seen it but I also think that the date can only be 1235, which well matches to this style of calligraphy
