This coin is very small. Copper color. Unsure of exact size, but diameter is roughly half the length of a US penny diameter. Also, front of coin has no recognizable text, but a star and other art.

In internet research, it has a lot of similarities to the modern Georgian alphabet, but unable to find any way to verify.

Thank you!

Joseph, it looks like one of these. Obverse is too blurry to say for sure, but it appears to be the first one.

Yes, I think you're right. I was just going to come back and report that I found out the script was Malayalam, from India.
