That is a pice from the Calcutta mint-Bengal presidency, east india company. Early 1800s. There are several types of this.
K54, 55, 56, and 57. You need the weight and diameter to narrow it down.

Thanks so much
The coin is thin and weighs 5.94 grams
It measures 1 1/32 inch diameter ...figures 25.44 mm if my math is right.
