This exceptional copper paisa represents a fascinating piece of numismatic history from the Gwalior State, minted during the prosperous 17th-18th century AD period. Struck at the Jawad Mint, this coin showcases distinctive iconography with a fish and scimitar depicted on the obverse, while the reverse displays intricate period designs characteristic of regional Indian coinage.

Weighing 8.02 grams and measuring 17.92mm in diameter, this specimen exhibits a Very Fine condition, reflecting careful preservation over centuries. What sets this paisa apart is its status as an unlisted variety—not catalogued in standard Krause-Mishler references—making it a true rarity for serious numismatists.

This piece is particularly valuable for collectors interested in regional Indian numismatics, historical artifacts, or those building comprehensive collections of pre-modern coinage. Its rarity classification and unlisted status enhance both its historical importance and investment potential. The coin’s authentic patina and wear patterns confirm its genuineness and age, making it a prized addition to any collection.
