I believe this to be the same coin shown in the link below but would like confirmation of denomination before entering it.

Thanks
Roy

Hi Roy,

Indeed it is a copper falus of Mahmud Shah II, GG#M172

Your picture on right is the obverse with ruler's name on top. The first picture has AH date at bottom but not readable.
