I was wondering which type/mint this nice looking half Rupee was from..

Yes it is a nice half rupee. Your coin is from the Bombay or Calcutta mint due to the ww on the obv truncation and the 24 berries on the rev with the mis-spelt Persian. Pridmore 80.  Bombay minted 4.85 million and Calcutta made 13.7 million but there is no way to tell which coin came from Bombay or Calcutta.  Madras has SWW on the truncation with 2.5 million and is rare.
