Hello, thank you to everyone that can help with this. I have looked up the writing and have attempted to find out where it is from. It has no date and has writing similar to that of middle-eastern countries. The face on the front of the coin is very distinctive and looks as though it is a warrior of some sort with defined hair. The back has a traditional crest which has two unicorns on it, one on either side. There are no dates or names of countries on this coin. I am sorry about the image quality, I am still new to this :) I am currently attempting to add the back side of the coin's image

Here is a slightly better picture of the front as well, sorry I am not sure how to edit posts.

The pics are hard to see but I believe it is a 1/4 Anna from Gwalior.

Will need the weight in grams for a more exact identification, and a closer pic of the year.
