Not sure what this is...

Clearing my grandfather’s house at the moment, and found this in amongst other coins.

It weighs 15g and is about 5/6 mm thick.

Anyone know what it is please?

Do you have a photo of the other side? And possibly size information?

 

Here you go - with a pound coin for scale

 

Looks Indian, but otherwise I have no idea

 

Thank you - hopefully someone will know what it is - very odd.

 

Definitely one of the Indian states; narrowing it down, however, could take a while. On your first photo, if you rotate 180 degrees, there is a trident in the middle, which is a symbol associated with the Hindu god Shiva.

 

Thank you - I thought it might be an old version of a Widow’s Mite - but this is a new angle

 

my guess is India. wait for more opinions...

 

Looks like a Paisa of the Maratha confederation, around 1800AD.
