Copper hammered coins
Weight: 3.42-6.81
Size: 15 mm to 20 mm

In with some Islamic silver coins and some that are generally know as octopus man coins from Ceylon.

I think they are generally the same type as I see a "c" and an anchor on all of the (except for maybe one).

Not my area, but perhaps a paisa of the Chamba State. Maybe an issue of Sri Singh? I've seen similar.

Bob L, I believe you are correct. Looks like I have some 1 Paisa and 1/2 Paisa.

I suspect these are all Paisa's - what is the weight of each coin?

There are two that are in the 3.5 g range, and three that are in the 6.5 g range. I is hard to tell from the picture but two of the coins are much thinner as far as thickness goes.
