Mystery India Coin?

[CallieGray]

This coin was found among some other current coins in an old box we had.  I'm not sure whether it is a token of some sort, or currency.  Taking one look at the coin made me think "Taj mahal" but after looking up the Taj Mahal it looks nothing like it.  Any help identifying, valuing, or giving possible history of this coin would be much appreciated.  Thanks!

this is not a coin,..it has no monetery value on it...i,d say its a token...see rupee coins,..they all bear a value..
