Looks very suspicious. Bubbly surface, rough to little or no detail. At best a contemporary fake, I would say. Would be interesting to find out if it is actually silver.
Those 2 annas coins are absolutely tiny and don't have a lot of finer details that the larger coins do. It could be genuine, but in saying that there are a lot of forgeries of Indian coins around. Weigh it and see if the weights match up to what it's supposed to be.
Not an expert but I really don't like the look of the obverse.
If you scroll to page 3 of this section you will see my 2 annas for comparison, feel free to use the pics.
I deny nothing but doubt everything, opinions are made to be changed, how else is the truth to be gotten at.
