Help with chopmarked India Rupee

My goal in collecting coins that picked up chopmarks while in Asia is to get exposure to a large variety of coins that lead me to learn more about world history. Usually that's not too difficult because it's relatively easy to find lots of information about the coins themselves and what was going on around the time they were in circulation.
This one has been more challenging. Can anyone help me with it? Based on the sellers description, it's a Princely States, Hyderabad Rupee from the 1830s. I believe they are very common, although I haven't seen that many with chopmarks like this one.
What's the best online reference for these, if one exists? Did I even get the orientation correct? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Insider2, I will do that.
Anyone else know of a good online reference to supplement what I'd get from SA?
Some look like Thai chops
Why do you say they are Thai chops? What distinguishes Thai chops from other chops?
