For a while, I thought that this paisa (5.8 grams and 17 mm across) was from Tonk State.  But I can not find a definite match.  Can someone (Oesho?) help me? I'm not even sure which way is up on what I have labeled as the reverse.  I guess the second version is probably more accurate.

The reverse of the 2nd illustration is up-side-down. Just turn it 180 degrees.
It's a paisa of Tonk State in the name of Muhammad Ibrahim Ali Khan. Period AH1342-1345. Ref.: KM#A25.2

Thanks Oesho.  I see now why I had dificulty finding it in my catalog; there is no picture of it!
The ruler that had the coin minted, Muhammad Ibrahim Ali Khan, reigned for over 63 years.  WOW!!!

The reverse is still illustrated upside down. The coin is of Tonk mint.

I believe that the following image is correct.
The person who made the original post has a lot to learn. I'll leave his first two attempts in the record to make sense of this thread.
Thank you Oesho.

Well done, Richie.
I tried to solve some of the question marks as shown on the (partial) Index of coins

Overlord's work on the index was fantastic.  Thanks for your efforts, Oesho, at helping us clean it up.
