I can not find this one in my books.. First thought was a 'Dudu' (10 Cash) Madras presidency, but weight is not correct..

The only thing i can tell i think it's from 1769 and the weight is 5,55 grams..

Thanks in advance for the help..

My guess would be same as yours: Madras Presidency, 10 Cash (Dudu), second issue.  The second issues are lighter, ~6.30 grams, so your specimen is only slightly underweight.  Perfectly acceptable.  It is hard to make out the 'CCE' logo on the obverse of your coin.

My Krause says 8,21 - 8,35.. That's why i thought it wasn't a dudu from Madras Presidency.. But 6,3 gram is indeed acceptable.. Thanks for the reply cmerc..

The 8.21-8.35 grams range applies to the heavier first issues, minted 1691-1754.  You have a lighter example from the second set of issues (1755-1807).
