I think this is aurangzeb surat mint

[Oesho]

It is an anonymous falus of Surat mint issued during the reign of Aurangzeb Alamgir. Most of the anonymous type of coins were issued during the reign of Aurangzeb Alamgir.
For the copper coins struck at Machhlipatan, this type continued also for the later rulers and during the period covered by the European Trading Companies.
For correct attribution both hijri date and regnal year should be readable on the coin.

Dear Peter,

It is not the bronze disease but Patina......... though a lot of other coins I picked up do have the problem. Thanks for drawing attention to the thread.
