Indeed looks like Jaunpur, but I think it is a different ruler

I was using the common Hindu–Arabic numeral system like on the example listed above :D

I don't know what numeral system you are talking about ? 8.

It is persian for sure. The "5" is confusing as it used to be written in such way in coinage of that time.

In your example, http://coinquest.com/cgi-bin/cq/coins?main_coin=14171

The Date seems to be AH 852, The last digit is cutoff so i am assuming it's 2.
