The two horizontal lines on your coin indicate the possibility of a “do-dundi” or “two-line” paisa of the Nagpur Bhonsla Rajas. Checking these on Zeno, this one looks like a match.

Bhonsla Rajas of Nagpur, i.n.o. Shah Jahan III, do-dundi paisa,  Amravati mint, Type 8.1 in Coinage of the Bhonsla of Nagpur by Prashant P. Kulkarni

 

If this was minted during the short reign of Shah Jahan III, this would place the date at 1759-1760

Wow! Thank you so much! That looks exactly right. I'll get it added to our DB.
