Those are vertical lines. That many vertical lines indicates this coin is from the Indian state of Nawanagar. They have many similar looking pieces, but by comparing the dots on both sides, your coin seems to match this 1 dokdo piece. The date on the coin is 978, which would be around 1850 in the Gregorian calendar, but with it being a frozen date, your piece could have been made some time after that. (The first side of your coin is off-struck compared to the coin in the link; the vertical lines would continue on either side of the horizontal line, unlike the link's coin.)
