    Reverse looks to be a basket of corn ears and possibly poppies. Can't make out the other side at all.

    This is a well known ancient Indian cointype of the elephant Maharathis of the Lower Tungabhadra valley. One side shows an elephant facing left, the other a tree in railing.
    "Well known" in this case however is a misnomer, as this is a very frequently encountered lead modern fake.
