Help identifying and valueing old coin

I am trying to identify and value an old coin - seems like it is from the Mughal times

Weight in grams and size and width in mm will help narrow down the search. Until then I'd look in the India section, princely states, and Islamic sections. You can compare the photos and search by image. And put silver as a composition in the filters will help your search. And a photo of the opposite side.

Jaipur section. The leaf pattern on the right makes it Jaipur.

Look through these. This is the most I can do without the measurements and opposite side photo.

Thanks. nothing is an exact match, but it gives me a good idea

Some other Indian states will have the Jhar Leaf shape. Most, and I suspect yours is, Jaipur. Back then coins weren't machined (milled) and made by hand with a hammer so they won't always be a perfect match. I didn't notice looking closer at ypur photo there is some unusual smoothed wear on the edge

Looks too crude to be a genuine coin of Jaipur, need to see both sides to confirm it's not a button
