I recently acquiered a coin from British India, specifically from the Bombay Mandate. I've checked the catalog and there's a similar coin to mine, however the diameter doesn't match at all. I've investigated a bit and found out that my coin might be a smaller denomination than the one listed in the catalog. I reckon it is a 1/2 Pice from 1794 and I think its reference number could be KM#192, but I'm not sure about that one. The previous owner of the coin who gave it to me said the material was copper and I took some measurments and I'm certain the diameter is 20mm.

I'm attaching an image from both the obverse and the reverse of my coin.

This coin is yours?

Oh, I must have looked under the wrong issuer, thanks!
This 1-1/2 Pice is under Bombay Presidency.
This 1/2 Pice is under India - British.

Doesn't make sense to me why they would not be under the same issuer.

​Bombay Presidency, Madras Presidency, etc. being recent issuers, all coins have not yet been moved to the correct new issuer.

But it's in progress, all coin requests have been sent to referee few days ago so it should not be long before it's sorted out.
