Hello!

I just encountered this coin:


It seems like a clipped coin of 1 Rupee during Shah Alam II Reign, but i am unsure which rupee is it.
The weight is 10.34 g with the specific gravity of 10.03 (75% silver? unsure)


Thank you for helping me identifying this coin!

I have the feeling that's because of cropping the pictures, I don't think the coin itself is that round.

The coin is not that round but yeah it does seem like it due to being cropped
