Looks Mughal Indian or later to me. What does it weigh? Could be a Half Rupee or a Rupee.

"KM# 124" is the reference number for this coin in the "Standard Catalog of World Coins"by Krause.

"AH 1205" is the date, in the Islamic calendar, that actually appears on the coin. It's written in Persian numerals, in the bottom pic just to the left of centre.

"1789" is the AD date that AH1205 converts to.
