Sunface design typical of Indore, Shivaji  Rao

Vic

Thank you for your information.  The coin is a dull gold colour making me wonder if it is gilt or low grade gold.

The script on the other side looks odd, possibly a jewelers copy

Vic

Thanks again. I now have information to point me in the direction to see if I can find out some specifics on it.

Cheers

Here is the type, fractions are less common than the rupees, the weight of yours would be ¼ rupee, there are traces of nagari script around your sunface

Vic

Here is the right way up for the script side, you can see it's similar but not quite right, probably beacouse I think I can see in the middle is a button fixing soldered on?  Script reads as Shah Alam sikka mubarak

Vic

Hi, thanks for taking the time to help.  You are right it does look like this coin(?) had been altered into a button at some point. I wonder what it’s KM number is? I’m finding info with ones with text within a laurel wreath but my one is different.

It's KM#42
