​Thank you both ........;):P

Thank you sir for your effort I guess this is very closely resemble to my coin the in the pic .
The weight of my coin is 14.7 Gms. around 25 mm approx.

I want of share some history about this coinwith all...:-

I got this coin from my grandmother. she lived in a village in Punjab(INDIA) ,around 15 to 20 years back I can,t remember exactly I just started to collect coins at that time I was in school living in Calcutta ,then we went to my native place during my summer vacation and asked my grandmother that does she have any old coins with her she gave me a small bag which contain few coins –it contain few British era coins 2 east Africa coin one ¼ anna Jivaji Rao (1929 copper ¼ anna).Gwalior coin and this one.
She never traveled outside Punjab in her whole life she was not much educated nor she was a coin collector or she heard anything such as coin collection and she live whole her life in that village. So how these coins came to her ?
The east Africa coins 1 shilling 1922 was give by her Brother who went to work in East Africa in some English company before independence(1947).
This coin is worn out because this coin was in circulation around 100 years ago but the coin is probably 500yrs to 1000 yrs old. Numismatists who are familiar with Indian sub continent will know that there were many states ,kingdoms in India and Punjab was the region where many war lords from Persia to Greeks to Afghans all came to India from this route. So despite any particular ruler or period coins were in circulation (it should be round ,copper silver or Gold of particular size with some inscription.)This is the reason the bag contained Gwalior ¼ anna coin, Gwalior is around 700kms from my village in Hoshiarpur (Punjab) and was a different state when the coin was issued.
After all its circulation now this coin is in peace ,safe with me –Kindly suggest some idea to restore it as I can see some green spots on it and I don’t want to do any experiment to damage it more. I haven’t cleaned not even once.
You can see the places in Google Maps to get a good idea what i am writing about......
So this coin is very important to me as it belong to my loving Grandmother and the best part is that I haven’t buyed this coin from anywhere. For all these years It was lying with me hopefully friends here in numista will help me to identify this coin....
any suggestions will be highly appreciated...

kindly comment on this coin do u find this coin similar ......can you guess.....
Thank all....
coin collector.....
I would not clean that coin. Together with the dirt you will remove its history too....
