Looks like an Eggo waffle to me. I think you need to put it back in the toaster...

Now, now, folks, be nice... this is a really, really tiny coin - probably not an easy target even for more experienced coin photographers.

The coin is a copper kasu (or cash) from the Indian state of Mysore, struck sometime in the 1700s. The "waffle iron" pattern is very distinctive for the period. There's a pageful of similar coins on zeno.ru.
