I would think it's a token of some kind, UKL being initials of a factory or business, large numbers of tokens were produced for workers to use in company canteens or shops
If this were to be a token then there probably would be other examples somewhere online. I can't find this exact design especially the 2 flags on the obverse any where on the Internet. Generally ukl also stands for United Kingdom lira.

Even if it is a fake why is this is only one I can find of this design.
There are innumerable variants of these coins, sold at temple towns (like Hardwar and Rishikesh in Uttarakhand, India). Pilgrims buy them to throw into the river, from where young boys retrieve them and they are sold again, and the cycle continues.
Your not finding a listing for your particular variant does not make it unique or rare or valuable.
Look closely, the two flags you refer to (as being unique) are representative of the flags of the Republic of India.
The Indian National Flag, in its current design, was officially adopted by the Constituent Assembly on July 22, 1947. So a coin minted in 1835 bore the flag of Independent India that was officially adopted in 1947, what does that tell you - extreme tardiness (that it took 112 years) or extreme foresight (that East India Company knew in 1835 the design of the flag that Republic of India would adopt a century later) or a fake?!
