The 2nd picture shows, it seems, a double strike ? and needs a 90° rotation.
You are right : it's well a paisa of Islam Shah, likely from Shahgarh mint

I use "PhotoFiltre", easy, free and small size software (<2Mo /  english language), you can download it from the web).
Others exist, often more sohisticated.

Coin collecting has a curious name. It is also called the "Hobby of Kings".
