This square coin weighs 1.79 grams and is about 12.8 mm across. The metal appears to be billon (silvery with some coppery tinge). My guess is that it is from the Delhi Sultanate, but I could easily be wrong. The weight might correspond to a half paika, but also might be some other denomination. I'll appreciate any suggestions.

Have replaced previous blurry photos with clearer scans.

Hi!

Would be easier if the photos were in focus!

If you type in delhi sultanate in the search box top left it will take you to drnsreaders excellent threads and you should be able to find it there..

G&G BH70H (Half Paisa) ?
if so - Firuz Shah (AH800-825) Bahmanis of the Deccan, Square Paisa similar to BH70E

Yes, I'm going to agree with G&G BH70H as the best match. Good call, andyg.
