Can anyone confirm if this coin is an India-Princely States, HYDERABAD FEUDATORIES-ELICHPUR, Paisa?

If so what is the date and what grade is it?



~6mm thick
~19mm dia.
~11.32g

Thanks again!
this Hyderabad paisa has a very similar lion

The weight, general appearance, and lion do appear quite similar to some of the paisa coins of Hyderabad Feudatories - Elichpur shown in Krause's "South Asian Coins and Paper Money." This book lists several varieties and some don't have photos there, so it could be one of them. I think this is likely.

Here are a couple of examples from Zeno - again, the lions look similar, the weights and diameters are about right, but the writing is somewhat different.
