India princely states Silver [solved]

Checking if anyone knows which coin this one is. I bought it as Indian but there's multiple types like this one including Islamic. 13mm wide 2nd thick.
Good photos. This is from the Dehli Sultanate, and would be easy to identify if given a weight to the nearest tenth of a gram. If you're going to request multiple coin IDs you should invest in a small electronic scale, available for less than $20.

Edit added later: by chance ran into a very similar coin on an ID board, which narrowed it down. Yours is Sultans of Dehli, a billon six gani of Ala al-Din Muhammad, AD 1296-1316, Goron/Goenka D232

Funny you mention that. I just ordered a scale 2 days ago. Thank you greatly for your help I looked over the Indian Islamic very thorough trying to do find it previously. Maybe this time next year is my time to help others with those obscure finds.
