Hello, I chanced upon this coin of the Maratha King Chattrapati Shivaji and I wanted to know its value. On the obverse in Hindi the following is written : “1661 Shivaji Maharaj”. On the reverse an engraving of the King is present. It has a diameter of 2.6cm and is likely made out of copper.

It's not actually a coin, it is a token, there are a number of these on Google

I am sure some people collect this type of thing but you can easily find low cost actual coins of Chattrapati Shivaji  which were struck at Maratha mints such as Satara and are very commonly  seen for sale on Ebay etc.
