Anyone want to help I.D.? Ancient India Thick Copper?

[super*dude]

Any information is greatly appreciated, thank you. 17 mm & 9.2 g & 5 mm (thick)

Definitely outside my bailiwick.

hand hammered, probably India, probably 18th century...

i went thru India in my 18th century Krause, didn't see even a close match, but that doesn't mean anything... it might not be pictured, it might be too worn, it might be another century...

it might be unlisted - though doubtful... there's not much missing from the books...

And way outside of Heron's area of study!   

Heron is thinking that maybe the item shown by OP could possibly be a 'local'

type issue.   Something issued by a small city 'Rajah'?   Or even a type of local

'token' rather than an official big-time govt issue?

Frustrating. I've had this type coin in the past, can't remember which Indian state it is. The mint symbol is a small dagger in the upper right field.
