Welcome to Numista!
The right picture does not magnify.
The date on the right picture looks like 1307 (1889AD) ?
The die for this coin is much bigger than the used flan.
So a lot of the writing is not visible
The coin gives me a little bit Afghanistan feeling

Corrections welcome

The weight will help you determine the denomination. Approx. 10gm is 1 tanka and 5gm is 1/2 tanka

I was wrong with the dot between the 3 and 7
