Most decidedly odd!

Scales, the reverse is eaten away?; copper approx. 30.7mm 6.4g

I believe it is an electrotype(galvano)

The word below is عدل (justice.) The type is late 18th or (more likely) early 17th century East India Company for Bombay, Mombasa or the Singapore/Malaysia/Indonesia area. What is the diameter of your piece?

Yes electrotype seems right. its quite thin.

It measure 30.7mm the same size as an old British penny. I thought EIC but didn't find it in the Pridmore vol.2

[Figleaf]

I was hoping for large size; it makes it a Bombay issue.

[malj1]

Thanks, it weighs 6.4g only half of the correct weight.

Are you sure one side isn't a join the dot puzzle?
