Hello
I got this coin as "India Jaunpur Sultanate 863/884 AD tanka Husein Shah" but I am not 100% sure if it is. I could not find much information to confirm it.

Coin weight 8,9 gr.
17 mm diameter

Any help would be much appreciated

Your suspicions are correct. Although similar in appearance to the Jaunpur coin listed, this is a different one, from the Delhi Sultanate

https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=120486

Sultans of Delhi, Sikandar Shah Lodi, Tanka, G&G D706

The date is mostly off the flan at the bottom of the second photo but according to Goron & Goenka these were struck from AH 900-922 = AD 1495-1516.

Here's the Numista listing

though I see some of the manufacturing dates in the Numista listing are incorrect.
I have submitted corrections for this listing.
