This exceptional Copper Paisa represents a significant piece of Indian numismatic history from the Bombay Presidency era. Minted during the reign of Shah Alam II (1759-1806) at the prestigious Jambusar Mint, this coin exemplifies the monetary systems of 18th-century colonial India. The obverse features intricate legends arranged in cross-line patterns, while the reverse prominently displays the mint name “Jambusar,” identifying its place of origin. Weighing 10.06 grams of pure copper, this one Paisa denomination served as everyday currency during this transformative period in Indian history.

What makes this coin truly extraordinary is its status as an unlisted new variety—a discovery that hasn’t been catalogued in standard numismatic references, making it exceptionally desirable to serious collectors. In Very Fine condition despite its age, the coin retains excellent detail and legibility. This rarity, combined with its historical significance spanning over two centuries, renders it a prized acquisition for collectors of Indian colonial coinage. The Jambusar Mint connection adds further numismatic value, as coins from this mint are particularly scarce. This is not merely currency; it’s a tangible connection to India’s rich monetary heritage and a worthy centerpiece for any serious collection.
