Like your previous coin, this coin is an example of the famous “bull & horseman” billon jital from northern historical India (including parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan). Millions of these were made, generally between 900-1300 AD, by numerous rulers, in dozens of varieties. It is often difficult to determine the variety. Here are a few good sources of information.
Robert Tye’s book Jitals is also a great resource. It’s available as a free .pdf download (with registration) from https://www.academia.edu/356700/Jitals
With the coin in hand it might be possible for you to determine the variety.
Are you just indiscriminately accumulating coins or is there a collection??? Just randomly buying things is never a good sign unless you are a baby collector...

Oh, please don't take it as an insult. When I was 10 years old and just started collecting (about 40 years ago), that is how I collected. It was more hoarding then collecting as I indiscriminately got any coin that I could get my hands on. I figured that was the case with you, but I guess I am mistaken. There is nothing wrong with collecting coins as long as you like the coins your collecting and thus have a reason and a purpose. It was a question...
