Hello kaji
It is not uncommon to find such crude imitations of EIC Anna used as temple tokens. They often have a fictitious date imprinted on them. Obverse will look something like the EIC coin, but will be so crude that you can instantaneously understand that it is an imitation. Reverse may have diverse designs that are not consistent with any of the EIC coin patterns. This image also shows one like this. This is not a coin. Is a token, most probably a temple token.
The legend in Devanagari script reads "sach bolo" "sach tolo" meaning something like "speak truth" and "weigh truth" respectively.
