Bhutan

Dear members,
I recently inherited a few coins and would appreciate any inputs regarding attribution. The coin appears to be copper. My apologies for not having information about weight and size.

Thanks.

Bhutan, Period III, c. 1865-1900 (Ma-tam, Che-tam), Cross on the left of ndra

The denomination is a deb (half rupee). These are difficult to attribute, so I am impressed with Gusev's guidance.

The denomination is a deb (half rupee).

No.
For copper coins, denomination is Ma-tam or Che-tam (when the weight is less than 2.7 grams).
For silver coins there will be a Deb rupee (see photo) ..

I stand corrected. I was following the explanation in Krause, which apparently is in error.
I see there's an explanation of these denominations in Numista at
½ Rupee / Deb (Period III) - Bhutan – Numista

Krause and Numista have many mistakes.
See the Zeno professional numismatic website.
