These are very cool coins from the British East India Company which influenced India starting in 1611. They come in V, X, and XX (5, 10, and 20) cash denominations, and they come from the time of the Madras Presidency founded in 1639, with Company rule from 1757 to 1858. Here are some estimate of catalog value.
V CASH
worn: $30 US dollars approximate catalog value
average circulated: $60
well preserved: $100
X CASH
worn: $15 US dollars approximate catalog value
average circulated: $30
well preserved: $50
XX CASH

India used an interesting monetary system at the time of this coin. 10 cash was equal to one dudu. Then there were 8 dudus in a fanam and 42 fanams in a pagoda.
Like I said, cool coin!
