Sorry to disappoint you folks. At 7+ g weight, the coin would not be a Devgadh Baria coin. Coins of Baria weigh around 4.5 to 5 g. At 7.5 g, it would be an issue of Lunawada. (the perils of commenting on pictures without having the details).

I check the datas about the weight of the "katar paisa" from Baria
I found a weight between 4.85 and 6.81 g on the Zeno database
I also found weights from 5.48 to 7.40 g in the book "Heritage of Gujarat through coins"
In that book the maximum weight given for a Baria paisa is 9.60 g PM#52 (page 116)
On Zeno you also get a Baria Paisa that weight 8.36 g (link below)

So in my opinion the weight is not enough for attribution (but I still think my coin is from Lunavada)
