I don't even know where to start with this one.

Copper. 3.2 grams. 18mm.

Came with a mixed bunch of mainly Roman antiquities, though clearly this is not a Roman coin. Maybe celtic? Middle eastern pre arabic?

If anyone knows anything, i'd be very interested to find out. Thanks!

North Indian states, Nepal or Bhutan; not sure which of those three at a quick glance. 1800s to 1900s.

Just looked at my 1800's and 1900's Krause and almost certainly a half rupee Bhutan. No exact match for a type from the pictures provided but very close. Thank you both for the help.
