This exceptional Copper Paisa represents a significant piece of Mughal numismatic history, issued during the reign of Shah Alam II (1759-1806), one of the last powerful emperors of the Mughal Empire. Struck in copper with a weight of 10.92 grams and diameter of 20.17mm, this anonymous type paisa features authentic Persian inscriptions on the obverse and the regnal formula “Manus maimanat Sanah Julus” on the reverse—a standard legend during this era.

What makes this coin particularly desirable is its scarce status among collectors. The Very Fine condition, despite its circulated use, preserves considerable detail of the original design, showcasing the craftsmanship of 18th-century Indian minting. Coins from Shah Alam II’s reign are highly sought after for their historical significance, marking a transitional period in Indian currency as Mughal power gradually declined.

This paisa serves as a tangible connection to India’s rich medieval heritage and represents an era of significant cultural and economic development. For numismatists and history enthusiasts, owning such pieces offers both educational value and investment potential, making it a worthwhile addition to any serious collection of Indian or Mughal currency.
