Probably a small AE denomination of Mughal Šáh Jahán, who's name seems to be on this coin.

Proficiat Amol for directing us to the Bahmani Sultanate. It is indeed a small copper coin attributed to Shihab al-Din Ahmad Shah I (AH825-838/AD1422-1435).
Goron/Goenka described it as a 1/9th Gani with a question mark and remarked that the relationship of these smaller pieces to the basic unit is not certain.
Obv. (right image): ahmad shah
