I bought this coin recently and it was listed as 'India Bengal 1 Pice 1831' however the dimensions dont seem to match to any of the coins on the database. My coin weighs 8g and is 29mm which is much heavier and larger than the other coins on database however it appears to look the same as https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces6658.html
Hopefully one of you will know more than me - perhaps it is a counterfeit?
The KM catalog (South Asian Coins and Paper Money 2013) lists several varieties of this coin (KM # 52, 53, 54, 56). All have similar printing and the number 37, which yours show on the first photo at 7 o'clock . They range in weight from 6.2 to 11.6 grams. KM # 53 is listed as weighing 8.7 g and 27-30 mm, so I think this is probably your coin. I don't see a reason to suspect its authenticity. Interesting coin, with writing in multiple languages (Bengali, Persian, and Hindi).
