The lettering looks like Hindi script to me.
I would guess Nepal or some Indian State.

Yes, Nepal. Likely a paisa of Prithvi Bir Bikram, 1881-1911 AD. There are several similar varieties listed in KM World Coins and it's hard to tell which one it may be, but perhaps you will be able to do this with the coin and catalog in hand.
