Coin is a silver 22-25 mm width, appears to be shah Alam II or under Baroda state. its matching with many 1 rupee coins, but due to TRISHUL or FLOWER design am unable to match it. Any help to identify this coin is highly appreciate. thank you in advance

Perhaps one of these… Im not sure… still searching :)

This is the site i use for asian coins. It is very comprehensive. 

The Lotus flower mintmark is for Madras Presidency, Rupee, regnal year 6, they bear the Arcot mint under Alamgir II but sometimes struck  elsewhere

Thank you for your message.. Like jbridger pointed out.. I searched for Baroda princely state .. but I could only find “Aa” or “Gaa” - Hindi letters..like Anand Rao and Sayaji Rao and rest of the Urdu words written in my coin and Baroda coins were same. Based on Vic65 reply I searched for Alamgir II Madras presidency and found the closest match here: N#42731. So thank you for the support

Brilliant! 

 

I've done a bit more searching with that info and found one that's perhaps closer to yours, maybe from the Masulipatnam mint?

Coins with frozen year six are  struck at either Madras, Calcutta, Murshidabad or Dacca. No distinguishing marks have been noted so it's guess work based on the die engraving style)
Ref.: Pridmore #140.
