Hello and welcome. 
I'll be moving your thread to the World COins section once I've finished posting this.
Your coin is an Indian rupee, or perhaps a half-rupee (we can't tell how large it is by the photographs; a rupee should weigh about 11 grams, a half-rupee half of that). It is dated 1113 in the Islamic calendar and to the 46th year of reign of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb Alamgir, a date which converts roughly to AD 1701-1702. The Mughal empire used several dozen mints to strike rupees; unfortunately, I can't read the mint-name on yours (I believe most of it is off the flan; these coins were struck much smaller than the dies used to make them, so they often are missing important details).
I am a little worried about the colour; it's supposed to be good silver. There are lightweight counterfeits of this date around, so check the weight to make sure it's correct.

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
