The two heavy horizontal lines suggested a “do-dundi” (two line) coin. Searching for this on Zeno turned up a match.

Maratha, Bhonsla Rajas of Nagpur, Janoji, INO Shah Jahan III, double (“do-dundi”) pai, Amravati mint.

Shah Jahan III had a very short reign, 1759-1760. This agrees with Janoji's reign, 1755-1772.
