I normally don't venture into the World Coin area. Anything after 500 AD is more modern than I collect - so I hope I don't break any important norms adding this Indian coin to the thread. Although the Ancients of the Western Kshatrapas and Kushan empire are more familiar to me - I picked up this coin and I am having trouble getting the attribution. Hoping someone on this thread might know more.

What I think this is:
Silver Kori, 15mm 4.63g, of Bahadur Khan III of Junagadh; AH1300-1309
Kutch, Desalji II, AH 1234 / AD 1883 Mint: Bhuj
Obv: Muhmmad Akbar II, nagari Shri Diwan
Rev: Nāgarī and Persian legend
Ref: KM C53

I do not find something similar - Edit: corrected with thanks to @coin_nut and Zeno.

 

Weight and size is correct for AR kori, and I am thinking Kutch-Bhuj. The right hand image has the dagger symbol at 6 o'clock, pointing to the left rather than right as on most such coins. I am looking around on zeno.ru now. Also I think I see Arabic numerals 1270 on the right hand image. Please take a look at this link: https://www.zeno.ru/showgallery.php?cat=6256

I work as a doctor. There are a lot of patients with coronavirus infection. It's very hard to work! Exhausting. But it's my duty. Tomorrow I will be on duty at the hospital again for a day. Among the infection.

 

You are a hero! Stay strong and well, we are all proud of you.
