thanks to Vic ("capnbirdseye") and Amit ("asm") for their infos:

Amit: The term "Kachha Pice"  (also "kachha coin", "Kaccha" , "Kachcha" , "kachcha pice") was used by http://www.worldofcoins.eu/forum-member  "Salvete" (Barry Tabor). 
Barry had worked extensively on these coins which seem to be issues minted by the unofficial mints without much control. I would not agree that it it has no numismatic or commercial interest...... In fact, contrary, out here these are regularly sold at astronomical prices as unlisted coins........ being from unofficial mints, the production of each type may not be many and hence these are difficult to come by. Quite a few of these exibit the mint marks of 2 or may be more than 2 nearby mints so as t gain acceptability in different states.
One of the possible reasons for issue of these coins was that these went by weight in exchange to a silver rupee and hence not much importance was paid to official or unofficial issues. These were mainly used for payment to labour or for such small payments in the opium or cotton production centers where there was a need of a lot of labour and a lot of small change was routinely required. 

Vic: It's probably a kachha coin based on Gujarat Sutanate type is my guess. I can see what looks to me like a crude rendering of Muzaffar (a Gujarat Sultan from 1570 AD) on the r/hand image, typical of Nawanagar, Porbandar & other states who copied the Gujarat style for decades. 
"Kachha coin" is a term used when nobody can identify it. Usually the coin is based on a popular coin from another state but as time goes by they begin to lose their likeness as die engravers make more errors so it ends up with little resemblance to the original issue.
