Looking at the year on the coin, I am confused whether this is a copper paisa or a silver die used on copper ?
Kindly advise. Thank you in advance.

Thank you so much Maythem for the detailed description.
However, this is a copper coin... so I was wondering if it was a OMS error... could be a silver die used on copper ?
Kindly share your thoughts!
