Found this coin in the bottom in a yellow package that says

Jaipur - I.N.S. Bronze Coin (and I hope it was in the right package)

I have no idea what it is. Could I please get any and all information about this coin.

"INS" would stand for "Indian Native State". Jaipur was a region of what is now north-central India, and issued it's own coinage before and during British rule.

The large, 7-leaved plant in the centre of picture C is the Jhar, a mintmark used on coins from this state. The "19" to the right of this mintmark is I believe actually "19", and would be the year of reign of the ruler. This coin is probably a copper paisa of Maharajah Madho Singh; Year 19 for him would be 1898 AD. Listed in Krrause as KM 130, worth around 50¢.
