Welcome to Numista!

Diameter to the nearest mm and weight to the nearest tenth of a gram are generally needed to help ID this type of coin.

Thank you for providing the diameter and weight.

Frenchlover is correct, and made a good call.

It's a quarter anna of Bhopal, Shah Jahan Begam, KM Y#4.2, similar to this one

I don't see a date on your coin, but these were made from AH 1285-1300.
