indeed. but EMPRESS started 1877.

a coin dated 1876 with Empress is a puzzle.
what is the weight?

I don't like the rim in the first picture. Could you provide better photos of the area around the rim and of the edge?

A puzzle or a fake?
I'm concerned about the a-centric position of the P in 'R U P E E'. That is not present on either the Queen or Empress version of the rupee.

After comparing the portrait on yours to the one in the catalogue, I’m fairly confident it’s a counterfeit.
