Help identify this Indian coin.

Hello fellow forum members.   A few months ago I won this coin at an auction, just today it arrived and I was able to see more details about it.      

 

As you can see, its first striking aspect is that engraving very similar to the Jhar, nothing more than with more ramifications.   The description of the item does not contribute anything to its identification, since it only says "Lot #31 Indian coin." 


Now that I have it in my own hand I can tell you that its weight is 12.00g and a diameter of 21.5mm, its thickness is irregular on one side is 2mm and on the other is 4mm.


At first I thought they could be one of the following Princely States: Jaipur, Alwar, Karauli or Kishangarh, I did not find anything similar in the catalogs of these states.  In a previous post on the forum, a possible answer came out that he was a Paisa of the Maratha Confederation from the Islamabad Mathura mint, but no legend matches it, not even the Jhar.   I looked through the rest of the catalog, but did not get a satisfactory answer.  I come to you again to be able to catalog it.

 

These are the engravings that I was able to see with other angles of light, here I leave the superimposed drawings.

There are two engravings that stand out on this side of the coin, on the upper right side of the Jhar there is a moon. On the lower left side a possible fruit. The number of leaves that make up the Jhar is still relevant as it is 12 and not 7 or 9 that I have found.

I can't say much on this side.

could that possibly be bengali script?

edit: looks more arabic than bengali to me actually. maybe وظو

India - Princely States- Baroda (In my old school “phone book”)

Y-1.1 / 7.3 are similar, both have the leaved symbol, but neither are identical. (Paisa AH 1277)

Nothing else I see has that similarity.

Maybe that helps.

Thanks friend, I checked and in fact they only look alike in Jhar, I'm going to look in the neighboring states.
