If the weight is about 0.75 grams (¾ g as described, or did you mean 3 to 4 grams?) this is probably a 1/16 silver rupee, probably Mughal, but unfortunately I wasn't able to find a match in Zeno. Hopefully this will at least give a starting place. I think the top photo should probably be rotated 180 degrees and the bottom photo about 80 degrees clockwise (horizontal lines normally curve slightly upward at the edges).

Thank you for the clarification and better photos. At an estimated 3-4 grams this would be a quarter rupee. Actually the standard would be 11.6 grams divided by 4 which is 2.9 grams, though coins often weigh a little less than the standard. For best ID results accurate weights to the nearest tenth of a gram are needed. Looking through some quarter rupees I found some similarities to one side of your coin here in this Gwalior quarter rupee, accounting for different striking positions on the flan, though overall the coin isn't a match. So I suspect your coin is from Gwalior under Jayaji Rao Sindhia (1843-1886).

Hopefully another member will be able to identify this coin more definitively for you.

Google Lens isn't much help with this one.

Yes, it appears to be a Mughal silver quarter rupee. You might want to try posting it for ID on this website, which is browsed by a number of Indian coin experts.
