India Princely State Coin? [solved]

Hi all,

Need some help in identifying this coin. It is 'rectangular' in shape , copper, and 19+ grams. My research unveils all kinds of 'round' coins, and a decent amount of 'square' ones, but I'm having difficulties in finding 'rectangular' shaped coins. I am totally ignorant of these types of coins. Any info (origin, history, age, denomination, language & symbol translations, etc.) would be greatly appreciated. Regards... Dan

I have a similar one:

India, Princely state of Bundi
VS1973-1992 / 1916-1935AD
Ruler: Colonel HH Maharao Raja Shri Singh Sahib Bahadur Sir Raghubir

(b 1869 -. 1927 d.) (12 April 1889 to 28 Jul 1927).
Raja of Bundi
Mint: Bundi
obv: EMPEROR GEORGE V
rev: Qatar (date)
The hereditary rulers of Bundi use the title 'Rao' before she called 'Raja' were the Mughals. A Raja is a ruler of exalted rank, but inferior to Maharaja or Maharawal

This is a Mughal Dam, Mint Elichpur. Might be that of Aurangzeb or Momd. Shah

​Bundi Paisa coins have prominent dagger on the obverse. Also the legend on the coins are in English and Nagari. The weight is around 10-11 grams for the paisa.

Thank you all so much. You've given me much info and many sources to review. They'll keep me busy for a while.

Thanks Sujit

Good morning all,

The information related to this category of coins is overwhelming. I would be appreciative If someone has more detailed information to this specific coin.

Also, is there a site that breaks down and describes the contents of the different areas on these types of coins? I',m even unaware which is the 'obverse' or 'reverse'... lol

Thanks again... Dan
