Hi, can anyone read or identify this coin? It appears to me to be similar to some Mughal Dam coins of Akbar in the 1600's. However, it would only be a 1/2 dam based on weight and I don't see any of those in the catalog. Weight is 9.1 grams and diameter 17mm with a thickness of about 3.5mm.

Yes that is it exactly. Thank You! In my case it looks like the date is completely off the flan.
