It is a copper half-rupee from Bhutan, 1800s-early 1900s. Also known as a "deb". Grade, very loosely VF - it's hammered, not machine-struck, so grading is more hit-and-miss, and things like "how well centred it is" matter more when assigning a value than simple wear.

As for value, they seem to be going for around $5. I have one I bought off a local dealer for a dollar back in 1999. They're very common - this guy from Russia had five of 'em.
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
