From the same lot as that Pseudo-Byzantine follis from yesterday, though this is clearly not Roman or Byzantine. Did a cursory search around but I can't make out anything on the coin so it's hard to make a good search. Could use some help.

Thanks in advance!

I have been looking at this for a while, and I can't stop seeing a swastika and an arched hill. And a taurine on the opposite face.
Reminds me a bit of a sibi janapada copper unit, but the beading (if that is what it is) is throwing that off. Or something from Kukutapada Dynasty, they sometimes have beading.
Or it could have nothing to do with a swastika at all!
Sorry, couldn't be more help.

I expect Kushanshah or Kamnaskires will be along shortly and nail it in short time. I'll watch with interest.

Rev looks almost like some tamga or another but that's a wild guess on my part.

I'm seeing one of those tangle symbols that keep showing up on Golden Horde coins (forgot the correct name for those). I think the other side is compatible with Arabic lettering, but I wouldn't dare claim to tell if that's Golden Horde or not. To me it looks like it could be, at least.
