20.5mm / 7.5gr
Bought this one in old coin holder with text "Kerman"
Lion looking backwards? Date ends at "8"
Any ideas?

I didn't find a match searching Zeno for Iran bronze coins with a lion, but did come across a couple of slightly similar coins.
https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=124600
https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=194838
Maybe these can give some ideas.
I see the number 7 in the lower right of the first photo - this could be a regnal year, because I only see dots, not other numbers, to the left of it.
Searching for "Kerman" didn't bring up anything similar.

Thanks for chekcing!. Seems to be a hard one. The first link´s coin is more similar, and this one must be the same era types.
Lion is quite clearly looking backwards on this type and it has a rising sun on it´s back?
Nasty piece this one. Quite nice/clear details, but hard to identify.

these coins are manually hammered
regulary the die was remade
also the die is not always good centered
so many variations exists
