The weights of these coins usually fall between 2.5 and 3.5 grams. Your coin is lighter due to wear and the missing sections. It is as stated, struck by Mahmud of the Ghaznavid Dynasty. There is no complete catalog of these coins. They are numerous, with one mint alone having 154 varieties for this one ruler.
