Shariq,
  As I told you in the Yahoo group,this could be an anonymous coinage 1 Paisa from Bahawalpur (which is now in Pakistan).

You should submit it up on http://www.zeno.ru for confirmation.

Dear B.C,

Thanks for your help. But I've got these coins from Indore and I dont think that they reached to indore from Bahawalpur(Pakistan) because it is very difficult(almost impossible) in present situation. Also I dont have account on www.zenu.com because now new registration are allowed. But Thank You very much.

Hello, Mr Khan
I think this is a Bhonsla copper like those in PPK's book under number 104. et seq.

PPK is the popular and famous Prashant P Kulkarni, from Nagpur.  A most hospitable, knowledgeable and interesting numismatist to be sure.  His book is 'Coinage of the Bhonsla Rajas of Nagpur'  ICS, Nagpur, 1990 which is still available from e-bay shops and second hand book dealers all over India and the world.  No collector of Bhonsle coins should be without it.  End of advertisement.

Seriously, there is no other book that attempts to cover this series properly, and PPK is always happy to talk to inquirers, and to advise if asked.

Well, Shariq, have you identified it or nor?  We would all like to know  what it is, if you have, please.
