Bought this coin out of curiosity, seems near impossible to ID it, seeing as one side is badly damaged/altered. Would appreciate any info on it.

Diameter ~18mm

Most likely a Jodhpur state coin of Maharaja Sardar Singh in the name of Queen Victoria or Emperor Edward VII
Maybe you can search here https://www.zeno.ru/showgallery.php?cat=2952 for any match

Looks like the first image matches the ¼ Anna of Jodhpur in the name of Edward VII and Sardar Singh, JL#J.12.14
You can refer this coin https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=266011
Due to date being off flan and severely damaged obverse on your coin, the above coin seem to be the best fit.

Yup, that definitely looks like the coin, shame about the date though. Thanks a bunch!
