We don't know the alignment for certain either. This is as close as the Numista catalog has at present to your coin. To me, it is not an exact match. Numista is a work in progress and is not all inclusive. It is however a clue as to where the source of your specific coin came from. I have checked other resources and have not been able to find an exact match to date. Measuring the thickness of your coin would be another clue. Is it about 5.5 mm as in the link?

In some areas of my coin the thickness cans be as low as 2 mm but in others it can be as high as 3.5 mm.
Then there is an answer to the link provided. Not the same. We can assume however that at one time your coin was intended to be at least as thick as 3.5mm but certainly not 5.5mm thick. This is going to take some homework to identify. A good place to start is to find more coins from The Indian Princely state of Gwalior / Jayaji Rao Sindhia because your coin does have some resemblance to the type. I tried Zeno and could not find a match there either. Many of these coins are not well documented anywhere.

The thing is though, my coin in composed from a tin-lead alloy.
I could not find any coin made of tin-lead that resembles mine.
If you are stuck on this tin / lead alloy issue and are sure about it, you can investigate the Islamic States of Indonesia, Malaysia, Sultanates of India etc. in the attached links. You might find some tin alloy coins there with Arabic script that resemble what you have.
