Hi,
I found this one as a good surprise in a lot of mostly Indian coins.
Size: 13mm
Weight: 1.32gr
I found an exact match here:

Even the die break is also present on both coins as well as on the gold coin pattern:

It is however different from the one on Numista:

Now I would of course like to have some opinions about the grade.

It seems they like die breaks....

Very nice coin, in excellent condition for this type. Personally I would grade it conservatively as XF, but you could certainly make an argument for XF+ or AU. It's in very high grade but I think shows a few minor nicks from circulation. The weakness on the right side is most likely just from a weak strike but could possibly be a sign of some wear.

Thank you for your comments.
The weakness on the right of both sides is certainly due to a weak strike.
Someone else to give an opinion?
