There are others here who specialize in this area of numismatics and should be able to help more. In thecmeanwhile, there are a couple long (and therefore very useful) threads on the world coin section of CCF that deal with Bengal States etc. that may be enlightening.

If it is around 18 millimetres, it would probably be a 1 paisa piece (from 1901). Link! https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces40648.html Report this Post to the Staff
aiglet7 Pillar of the Community Canada 695 Posts	Posted 09/06/2017 9:16 pm Two other examples of India Princely State Coins - Jaipur can be found here. Scroll all the way down to 'Jaipur' and you will see two examples very similar to your coin. Be sure to check both weight and diameter. http://nvpcollections.blogspot.in/2...e-coins.html Report this Post to the Staff
