Are you sure this is the date?
It's not located at about 8 o'clock and slanted upward?

Maybe a possible partial date of 307? Not too clear, and if so this possible AH 1307 wouldn't correspond to Mahmud Shah's reign in Afghanistan. Could possibly be a 37 with an ornamental dot, which might correspond to 1237 (during Mahmud's reign) or possibly a regnal year? Just tossing out some ideas for consideration.

Also the weight would help. According to Album, the weight standard changed from 11.5 to 10.35 grams in 1240.
I'm going with 1237. As Seeker says, these often had ornamental dots in the date:

The only date in the 1230s I could find was this (1)233:

tdziemia - Will post weight next week. I have several of these coins and yes, I have noticed ornamental dots on the others with clear dates. I was also concerned that only 3 numbers are visible (not counting the dot) whereas all 4 digits are visible on the other coins. Thanks

Looks like this coin is not what I thought it might have been.
Which is why it's usually best to show the whole coin when asking for help.

tdziemia - weight = 11.40g.

The consensus seems to be 1236 or 1237 I thought it was a V but could be a 6.
