I bought this coin as part of 3 coins from a flea market coin dealer 15 years ago, as an identifying challenge for me.
The dealer was annoyed since he couldn't recognize the coins, and since then, I share his feeling. I believe it is Indian, but can't find anything in my catalogues.
15 years is long enough to admit I failed. Can you help?

This coin diameter is 24 mm. I hope it is not upside down.

This one is also from one of those early Islamic dynastys. Possibly Ayyubid or Gorids

If you have a lot of time, have a peruse through this section of Zeno

http://www.zeno.ru/showgallery.php?cat=1

there are a lot of categories there but that lion should be easy to spot - not that many of these dynasties used that emblem (indeed some don;t portray any living thing on their coins). It looks like the lion of the Seljuks of Rum - but I can't recall seeing that imagery withough the sunface. It's more likely to be from the pre-Iran type area.

Good luck

Just for the record: It's Ilkhanids, Uljaytu, copper fals. Probably 715 AH (1315).
A sample link: http://www.mehmeteti.150m.com/ilkha.../EWbro13.htm
