I have gone through my Krause (1987 Ed) of all the Asian Countries I can think of....maybe this item is not Asian (African). Can another member help identify this coin. Jpegs attached. I had to edit note...not sure where picks went...Pluto?

Those are good pictures, but I don't immediately recognize the design. I will move this to the Identification section

EDIT - the top picture near the bottom, appear to be Sanskrit numbers, but the character second from the left is throwing me off making a good comparison.

Anytime you see the jhar (the leaf), it's Jaipur.

I honestly had no idea what that symbol represented. A leaf makes sense sort of.
