Help ID this Indian princely states coin please

3 berichten
Hi all,

From the devnagari script on the coin so far I have been able to find that the coin is from the Indian Princely State of Baroda during the rule of Malhar Rao Gaekwad(1870-1875 AD).
Would like to get more details about it.

Hope this helps....what are the dimensions of your coin? Diameter, weight etc...approx 7 gms would be a paisa. ~3.5 gms, 1/2 paisa

Thanks for sharing
Thanks a lot for the info.

The weight of the coin is 7.63g and diameter is approx 20.5 mm. So I guess the coin is 1 paisa.
