Kindly identify the coin in the following pic. Its diameter is 1.8 to 1.9 cm, weight 20 gm to 30gm. Some say its durrani empire coin but are not sure. Please identify it.
Thanks in advance.

Too bad his other books are not available on Archive.org, but if you have a HathiTrust Digital Library account from your University, you can download it from there...
