Hi, This is my first post on this site, although I have used its search facility to identify some of my coins for a couple of months now.  So far its proved very helpful, but have been unable to id this coin, probably looking in wrong place. So its over to the experts on the forum. Richard.
  Somewhere like Nepal or Tibet or Indian Princely States I think - their coins have that kind of lettering ...

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces14275.html  2 Paisa  ??mm

 When asking for identification it is useful to have the size as well as pictures. What size is your coin? I would say that third coin looks the closest, though it does not say the size on the page.

It is this coin, https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces13987.html and the year is 1943 (1886)  :)

You know, someone should really add a Nepalese section to the calendars in the numisdocs.

  Agreed - I used this (site owned by Numista member 'inscriptor') just now and it agrees with the 1943 (1886) dates (their calendar is 57 years ahead of ours so the coin is 1886 to us) ...
