To my opinion rather one of the Princely States of British India.
Seen before, forgotten which state.
Can be wrong but I do'n't think so.

From style and weight, I would say that they are anonymous mamluk fals; the weavy linear ornament looks like some found on  Muhammad I coins (al-Nasir Nasir al-Din).

In a study on the Jerusalem mint, there was a part in which an outsourcing practice was described. Farms around the city would make blanks, the mint would turn them into coins. However, in troubled times, the mint would provide them with dies to make small copper emergency coins.

I could imagine that around other mints in the region, similar practices could produce this sort of coin.
