I didn't find any similar coin for Maratha, weight (6-8g) on Zeno.

Your coin has typical crude coarsly engraved lettering so big that hardly anything is readable, look at these photos of Bhonzle rajas and you will see what l mean, your coin has some kind of symbol as well which might be a bad attempt at a bow and arrow commonly seen on these

See this one with bow, ignore the weight as it's a double paisa

It sounds right, crude bow and arrow.
