I think this is from Baroda - but I've not found anything similar, so I may be completely wrong...
13.9g - a two paisa presumably.

Gwalior. It is not an uncommon coin.

Dear andyg, your coin:
Princely state of Gwalior, In the name of Shah Alam II [Jivaji Rao], Date?, Copper Paisa, Mint ? (AH 1271-1295 /1854-1878 AD)
Reverse (First photo): inside a square shape reads:
ميمنت مانوس سنه  جلوس ضرب ؟ , Sanah Julus Maimanet Manus zarb ? (Mint is not visible).
Trishul (Trident) at 4 O'clock.
Obverse (Second photo): inside a square shape reads:
سكه مبارك بادشاه غازى عالم ثانى , Sikka Mubarak Badshah Ghazi,  Shah Alam II.
The date is not visible.

Coin collecting has a curious name. It is also called the "Hobby of Kings".

Thanks very much both,  I'd not noticed the trident at all until Maythem mentioned it.  What confused me with this one is that I've always associated the writing (highlighted below) with coins from Baroda.

Amit, When you say common they are not all that common here :)

Dear andyg, your copper paisa was issued by Jayajirao in the name of Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II; the highlighted photo shows, the name and title of Shah Alam II with Devnagari word " Sri ".
Sri (Shri), is a Sanskrit word initially attributed to a goddess and meaning "good, beautiful, happy". It is also a title of worship given to Hindu gods .
