Hi, newbie here
This coin came to me in a bundle and I can't find an equivalent online image.
It seems to be in Sanskrit and poss from Northern old India, not sure whether the Nepal or Pakistan side. The beaded centre ring and floral outer-ring look like some Gwalior or Kutch coins but I can't find that happy goat or dancing sheep or whatever he is anywhere.
Can anyone help me ID this coin? 32mm diameter, 2mm thickness.

That looks like a 1/2 anna from the Indian state Indore, with the date of 1945 written on it (or 1888 in the Gregorian calendar).
