Is this Delhi Sultanate - Ala-ud-din Masud - billon jital? [solved]

3 posts • viewed 71 times
I seek assistance in confirming this coin.

What I know is:
Weight - 3.58g
Diameter - 14mm
Material - probably Billon
I got it saying it is from Delhi Sultanate - Ala-ud-din Masud reign.





The nearest I can find is https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces47611.html
Unfortunately the coin pictured there is of a rather worn out one so I cannot say with certainty.

I found 2 coins on an old auction listing which look very similar to what I have

I will be thankful for any and all assistance re confirmation or pointing me in the right direction and if you can provide me with year (AH / RY) if available/indicated, material and value (jital? or other value)
I think your attribution is correct. I looked in Zeno and Goron/Goenka. It matches the photo of GG D126, and also the examples in Zeno:
