The East India Company Bengal Presidency coin KM #84.2 looks the same as mine. Differences are color, weight, diameter and alignment.

I think the attribution is correct. Your coin is heavily corroded, as evidenced by its general appearance and being underweight by a full gram. I don't particularly see a reason to doubt its authenticity (I can't say if authentic or not), but it does appear to have been exposed to extremely harsh conditions.

I agree, it looks genuine, just worn off.
