I got this coin in a lot recently, and it's really neat....but I have no clue where it is from, when it is from, what demonination it is, and what it's worth. I don't have a krause so I'm really in the dark. It's really thick too, that's what threw me off the most I think. If anyone could help I'd appreciate it!

It looks like Sanskrit alphabet ( I am not specialist!) The year may be 1881 but searching in Krause I did not find anything who looks like this at India
