Pretty sure the images are upside down Looks like some kind of Sanskrit

 

India or Nepal maybe ?

 

Yup, upside down and Sanskrit. My daughter's mother-in-law just wrote out our new grandson's temple name for us and my wife asked about the bar over the letters.

 

It looks incuse when I flip it.

 

I am not seeing any coins in my Krause's world coin catalogs 17th century,18th century ,19th century , to date that look like your coin. I am wondering if it is a token ? Cool looking what ever it is.

 

I just checked Nepal and nothing from 1800-2000 catalogs. There's way too much for me to absorb under India. I like it also and it's off centered.

 

Mewar state India 1942 Y 16.1

 

Great! Thanks very much. And thanks to all here.

grade/value

not sure what your coins grade is ? XF ?

 

Thanks very much for the extra info. I had not gotten back into the catalog yet. This was part of a bulk purchase 2 years ago from my friend Doug at Newfound Coin & Jewelry in New Hampshire. It was part of a nice lot of unidentified India. I should have suspected but I separated those I could identify and misplaced those I could not and ended up here totally confused. ( Until you all helped me out )
