Sorry for another "what rupee is this" thread, but I'd appreciate help with this one. I've searched a few places online and I'm having trouble matching this with anything I see. Can anyone please help with identification?

The coin is smaller and thicker than what I'm used to seeing, possibly the "dump style" I've read about.

Weight is 11.13 g and diameter is approx 16mm. The shroff marks don't make it any easier to identify.

Thank you in advance for help.

This one is tricky. The only thing I can make out is "Julus" - top of left image, "Maimanat" - the wavy line underneath, "zarb" at the bottom and possibly "Shah Alam" at the top of the right image. None of which help very much as all those were used by different issuing authorities.

The likely mint mark is the wavy line second up on the left image - above the word "zarb" which means struck at or mint. It doesn't look like a Mughal mint mark which might indicate it's a coin issued in the name of Shah Alam II rather than one specifically by him. There are no date marks that I can see.

Thank you Bacchus2, that's more than I've been able to figure out. I appreciate your effort.

It's probably British East Company, Bombay Presidency. In the name of Shah Alam II. Dates off flan. Or it might be a contemporary immitation, hence all the chop marks as locals were unsure of it.
