I believe I have a Bhutan 1/2 Rupee and can't quite get a grip on which period due to ambiguous descriptions and off center strikes. I'm somewhat inclined towards KM 8 or A8 but then there are twelve variations which is getting beyond my pay grade. Any help in pinning down the exact variety would be as always very much appreciated.

It's copper, 19.5mm diameter and 3.7gr weight.
