Hi,
below a picture of a coin I need help to identify, I'm assuming India-Pricely States but I'm not sure and anyway I'm not able to find on Krause.

India, yes. Princely States, no. A hint here would be to notice the relatively "modern" look to it - it's been machine-struck, not hammered by hand, and that means it was made by the European colonists.

It is, in fact, British East India Company, Bengal Presidency, 1 pice, KM# 57. The coin is undated, but would have been made sometime in the early 1800's. Rather, it does bear a date: "37", which correlates to the regnal year of the last Mughal emperor to rule Bengal, 1796 AD. This "date" does not indicate in what year the coin was actually struck.
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
