I found this little coin in a box with a lot of other very dirty metal pieces.
After some cleaning I saw this coin:
dim : 13,4 x 11,6 mm
weight : 1,15gr
copper
Looks islamic writing
Rotation unknown
Could the two triangles on the first picture mean Gwalior?
Thanks for any help

It's an overcleaned Mamluk fals, mint and date off flan.
The bottom is the obverse, with part of the kalima visible.

Indeed overcleaned. But if you should have seen it before with th thick crust of dirt, it was unrecognizable.
Now I can give it the time to grow a new nice patina.
I have a couple other of this kind of cleaned coins.
