Hi.
This one is 8.81g, 22 mm.
I can see a part of the year, I see clearly "32", which is a bit strange if it is the middle part of the date and is read backwards like other Mysore paisas.
It looks to me that there is another digit on the left. Else, if the date spans to the right where it is not visible, it can be "3221", which read backward gives AD 1793, but still not a match with the catalog which shows the date on the obverse (elephant side)
What do you think?
Thanks

Not Mysore, the design of the Elephant and the coins reverse suggests a Falus of Iran, here is a link to something similar LINK

Great, makes sense, the coin linked looks like a good match. I had another Yerevan falus in the same lot, so probably they got mixed.
