    I think it is a coin of the Harathi Chiefs from about 1621 the animal is a lion and I am not sure what the writing is (Sorry) it should be made from Copper and weigh about 3 grms and aprox 15mm in size?

    The Harathi chiefs were feudatories of Vijayanagar, who received a grant from King Venkatapatiraya. They assumed the title "Saraja"
