Might this be an Afghan local issue?

Almost certain, crudely overstruck, those in my collection with a presumed leaf are usually Kabul or Qandahar mint

Thanks for your reply. I have several similar coins in my collection. Would you say these are all Afghan local issues? Are you able to point me in the direction of any specific Numista types? Thanks adam 

Afghan for sure, l have 150 or so inc some l got from a UK soldier who had been stationed there, always with multi  overstrikes some can be considered of the same type, often with bits of the word falus visible and even parts of Kabul or Kandahar but a lot are totally unreadable. I like them a lot and imagine them being struck while a little boy frantically  worked Goatskin bellows to heat metal

Thanks! I tried to match them with items on Numista and also using google lens with zero success!! These coins are tough!!!
