Pls advise what is the KM identification and denomination of this coin.

India-British Bombay Presidency KM 221 if it is indeed a rupee. Similar coins of half rupee exist, so a diameter would be useful.

The coins bear the date AH1215 (AD1800-1801), but were struck between 1832-1835 and not at Surat, as the mint on the coin suggests, but at the new Bombay mint. The coins were declared legal tender by Procalmation dated 17 October 1832. Coinage of this new improved silver money continued at the Bombay mint until December 1835, when the Company's standard rupee currency replaced it.

No one seems to have mentioned it, but the coin is not in the name of Alamgir II, but of Shah Alam II.
Please also correct the 'header'.
