This 1972India 25 paise is a copper-nickel coin that features the Asoka lion pedestal onthe obverse and the denomination and date on the reverse. It has a reeded edgeand a diameter of 19 mm. It was minted at the Calcutta, Hyderabad, or Bombaymints, indicated by the absence or presence of a mint mark below the date.  The coin looks to be about ef40ish to me, butI leave the grading to you based upon the pictures.  Questions welcome.
