This looks a lot like a Ceylon plantation token, but it's Annas instead of Pence, so I'm thinking it must be British India or Princely States. I can't find the company name anywhere in a Google search -- even the text from the token "Token for 4 Annas" doesn't get any hits on Google.
Anyone recognize it?
Composition: looks like brass
Diameter: 21.5mm

Indeed a British India era Private Tea Company Token. Pridmore # 49. Mintage = 10,000
