The double bladed ‘ sword of Ali’ is usually seen on Afghan copper coins

Best match I found on Zeno is :

#329295: 1240AH, Ahmadshahi, type "Leaf between two swords", falus. KM#15

#126751: 1253AH, Ahmadshahi, type "Crossed swords", falus. KM#23.

It looks the type “leaf between two swords” but I didn't find any sword as the top one, and the leaf  looks from Kashmir :)
