I too had my eye on this and meant to put in a bid at the last minute yesterday but forgot as I was caught up with work.
It is a chinthe for sure but the 'face' is a little different from the ones we usually see.. I thought it might be the central part of a 90 Punjabis badge. If you see on the reverse there is some indication that something was attached to it and filed off.. but you did well to get it very cheap I think for 14 gbp
