I have been trying to identify this coin. using various techniques without success
It has a diameter of approx 20mm but has probably been filed or clipped to this shape.
It is about 6mm thick and weighs 16.9g.
Not sure that the orientation is correct? or which side is up (obverse)

Some coins are easy to identify, others more difficult
Maybe Numista members and others can help
Having fun

Please repost photos correctly oriented (180 degrees from current, with rounded bottoms of Arabic letters down) to aid identification.

Thanks everyone,
I have used your search ideas already with no luck, that's how I got here.
Will leave it unsolved for a few weeks, someone may have another idea.

I was sure I could read Muhammad and I was right🙃
it's a coin of Adil shah's of Bijapur, Muhammad Adil Shah and it's weight suggests 1/1/2 Falus which is listed as very rare.
I have the Falus below which shows part of the same legend with Muhammad Shah written on the lower part and Muhammad on the upper
