Comments

Listed as a "Unit" in Krause
Previously KM#6 under “Saudi Arabia - Mecca”

Value of "1/6 Rupee" is according to:
https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?p=lot&sid=297&lot=763

Krause (1701-1800) uses a similar pic for this coin in the 3rd edition (2002), no pic in 4th (2007) and 5th editions (2010), then uses this pic for KM#B5 with a wrong pic of KM#A3 for this coin (KM#3).
KM#B5 is supposed to be of billon while this is the only coin listed as silver, hence attributing this pic to this coin.
