Thanks and Good day 

Yes my family belongs to punjab and this coin is from Sikh empire. But the picture you shared is different. I will check thoroughly again.

It looks to me like the coins match, accounting for different striking positions on the flan.

I checked the picture again, but it's not 100 % matching the pictures shared. It's from the Sikh era, but the exact value, nomination, etc., I am searching.
