Nice coin!
I think AH877 corresponds to 1473 in the Gregorian calendar, which makes this an early dated coin!

Yes this is a Silver Tanka, pretty rare coin.
It is of the time of Muhammad Shah III. From Gulbarga, Bahmanis Sultanate. This was an independent Muslim kingdom.
It is correct that it is AH 877 in Islam Calendar years or 1473AD.
