    Do you have the weight and diameter? If I have nothing else to go on, a Numista search by weight/diameter/composition will often narrow it down to a manageable number of choices.

    Edit: It looks a bit like Dutch india. Here are a 1/2 and 1 Rasi for comparison:

    Yes, I do now:
    Weight: 1.20 g
    Diameter: 12.00 mm

    Yes, to an extent. Thank you.

    Will update here if I find anything.

    I did a search by diameter and weight and found nothing close.
    Not every coin is on Numista, and if the diameter or weight fields are blank, it might not show up in a search even if it's there. All the designs I could find that were even
    vaguely similar are from South Asia. I suppose it also could be some sort of token.

    Good luck...

    I found some that are vaguely similar from Mysore, India. But I really have no clue.

    I am also stumped but very interested in solving this mystery.I agree that it is from from India.I think that it is a token .I think that the 25 pellets are symbolic of something like a 25 year reign celebration .
