Saharsa (Bihar)
The Ram Darbar coins were issued by the Maratha Empire between 1736 and 1818, and the year 1740 on your friend's coin indicates it was issued during this time period.
This is a token rather than a monetary coin and would have been provided at a temple for a Hindu devotee to take away as a protective keepsake. It is of brass and most probably struck from a die. On one side is Lord Rama, his wife Sita, and the monkey god Hanuman around a platform (dubar).
