Coin identification

Hi,

I recently got this coin. Please help me identify this. The weight is about 10 grams.

 

The photos are very good. For ID requests it is best to also give the weight to the nearest tenth of a gram, the diameter to the nearest mm, and to state the apparent metal. This allows searching databases such as Zeno. 

Recognizing the style as that of the Sultans of Dehli and searching Zeno for coins of about that weight first in silver (or billon) gave no match. Searching for bronze gave the following match:

Sultans of Dehli, Sher Shah Suri, half paisa, no mint, Goron/Goenka D927

 

As is often the case for hand-struck coins, the striking position on the flan, and the dies used, differ from your coin to the coin in Zeno.  In this case the striking position on one side (your first photo, the second photo in Zeno) differs considerably in vertical placement.

 

It was lucky to be able to make this attribution with the limited information provided; in future kindly provide the additional information requested above.
