Hi, I recently bought this coin in Tibet.
However, I'm pretty sure it is not a Tibetan coin (at least it doesn't look like anything I could see about Tibet).
My next guess would be a coin from India, but I also could not find anything even close to this design in old Indian coins.
I even checked Nepalese coins, which vaguely resemble this one, but none exactly like this...
Finally, I tried Thailand, as the characters on one side seemed like Thai, but no luck either.
What is this coin then? Can somebody help me?

I agree Nepal looks closest. The second photo appears to have a date at bottom, which may be 1815 in the Nepalese calendar (maybe someone else with more expertise in these coins will come along with a better guess).

What is the diameter of the coin?

That's exactly it!
Thank you very much. I wouldn't have get even close to this, as this a kingdom which is all new to me (although I already visited Nepal and learned about some of the old kingdoms there).

Regards.
