Strange indeed, one side reads as Mahmud

One side looks like Bahmani
But the other doesn't match

May be PMD

I think is just a bad strike, many of those old India coins have irregular shapes.

They just took a lump of metal and hammered it

what is PMD?

what about the other side? Is it numbers?

0303?

 Post-mint damage

Authentic error coins are often confused with coins that have post-mint damage. Such coins are damaged (gouged, scraped, etched, mutilated, flattened) after the final strike, either accidentally or deliberately. If damage occurs at the mint after the minting process, for example in subsequent automated handling, it is still considered post-mint damage. Corrosion, scratches, bending, and dings can all occur to coins in circulation and sometimes may mimic mint-errors. [Quote]

It's bits of script as the coin needs turning to the right for correct orientation

As Vic said, is part of the writing

 

something like this part

And I think is just a random shape that resembles a heart, just numismatic pareidolia
