Stephen Album Auction 15
Lot 1233
http://db.stevealbum.com/php/lot_auc.php?site=2&sale=15&lot=1233&lang=1&cust=0
SIKH EMPIRE: AE falus (7.75g), Peshawar, DM, KM-94A. Herrli-—, Gurmukhi text / pipal leaf, with mint name in Persian (falus-i peshawar), Fine, RR.
There is trace of a date above the reverse, perhaps "91" for VS1891, well-known date for other Sikh coppers of Peshawar. The reverse die is very similar to the KM illustrated example, perhaps the same die after or before some re-engraving.
