Obverse "Chhatra" & "Pati" in two lines (the latter is mostly off the flan)


Reverse (Shri) (R)aja (Shiv) (the portion in brackets is off the flan)

'Cause Stone Cold said so... ;D

I don't know the exact weight; may be around 8 grams. The 1/2 Paisa coins I found on the net, such as this one are around 8-9 grams. However, after reading your earlier thread I'm not too sure if this would be a 1/2 Paisa.
