This coin was in a large lot of older international coins which I acquired. I've tentatively identified it as a 1 Rupee - Shah Alam II. Weight = 12.38 g; diameter ~ 28.7 mm.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.



I scrolled through many entries on Numista to arrive at my ID.

Yes, you're correct. The issuing authority is British India, Bengal Presidency, in the name of Shah Alam II.

Thank you, Seeker55! I bought the lot for a couple of bronze 100 Mon and a silver Bu from Japan, and this one was hidden under the stack in the auction pic. Quite a few more for me to dig through.
