Chitrakoot Udaipur?

I am trying to find more about this coin. On one side there is "Chitrakoot Udaipur" and on the other there "Dosti Lagan 1000". Is this a token or an actual coin minted in the Udaipur Kingdom? Does anyone know more about this coin?

Thanks

I think this is a proper India of Princely States coin of Udaipur, not a token. I tried to look for a similar one, but could only find this one on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-IPS-MEWAR-...5?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_203&hash=item563f73dcfb it is being sold with two other coins though.

 

Thanks Rex. Anyone know how much this is worth? Krause/Street price?

Thanks

 

In nagri alphabets, the two letters "Gha" and "Dha" are confusing and have very minor defference between the two. So, the reverse legend reads "Dosti Landhan 2000" which translates to "Friendship to London, 2000". It was minted in VS 2000 which is roughly 1943 AD.

This is a one anna coin (denomination written on obverse, above "Chtrakoot"). A nice coin.

Thanks Ballabh! That helped.
Couldn't resist buying it

 

Well it is quite a beautiful coin. I like what looks to be a field on the obverse side. Very pretty.
