Hello
Here's a hard one,
All I can see is some sort of an "8"
Anyone has any idea what this coin can be?
It has 14 mm and 3.5 grams, quite small and bulky
Thank you all

Wow that is a corroded coin! Based on the thickness alone, I would say your best starting point would be either Indian or Islamic of the early modern era. There are quite a few examples from the "Princely States" of India that pop up here on a weekly basis. We have a few experts in those coins, so I will defer any attempt to ID to them.

If it is not Indian, I would hazard to guess that this may be a token or similar. Again, too much detail is lost to the corrosion to make out anything to Google for a match.
