 Small un-clickable picture has ‘miniature’ in the link.  

 What is the diameter? 

 

Token collector [1600-1899] with some coins

Yes, providing clear separated (enlargeable)  photos, the diameter, and weight give the best chance of a good attribution (please see the posting guidelines). Having said that, it was possible to read the date of 1141 on the enlarged first photo kindly provided by ZacUK. Searching Zeno for bronze coins of India dated 1135-1145 gave three similar coins. These are a match on one side, not on the other, though some of that could be due to different striking positions on the flan.

It appears that your coin is an Indian paisa or dub of Muhammad Shah, Machhlipattan mint, AH 1141, some variation of KM#430.5. The weight should be around 13.9 g and diameter 17-20 mm. 

Interesting to note that the coin bears what appears to be the Roman letter S, this appears on some Bengal presidency Pice and also under the Mughals.  Usually Shahjahanabad mint but the letter S is said to be for ‘sana’ preceding the regnal year.

Thank you ZacUK & Seeker55, I missed to write the dia which is 17-18 mm & weight is 13 gms. 

 I think it matches much more with the 3rd sample.
