Sellers Pictures.  Looks like it has been scrubbed till it shines.  Only comment is Jaunpur Sultanate.  Can it be identified further?

Hi,

  The date on the coin is AH 894 (1489 AD). Jaunpur sultanate was taken over by the Lodi Dynasty of Delhi sultanate by then. So i believe this is a coin of Lodi Sultanate. Now the AH 894 is when Bahalul Lodi ended his reign and Sikandar Lodi became king. So this can be of either of them.

Hope this helps

Regards...
Sujit

Sujit,
Thanks for the further information.  Is this a type of coin that was likely to have the rules name on it anyway?

Yes it does in some cases. Your coin looks little worn to identify. What is the weight of this coin? Seems like a Fractional Tanka
