This exceptional copper 1/2 Anna represents a fascinating intersection of Indian numismatic history and regional coinage. Minted at the prestigious Ujjain Mint during the 17th-18th century AD, this coin was issued by Indore State, an important princely kingdom of central India. The obverse features the inscription of Shah Alam II alongside a sacred Shivalingam, reflecting the spiritual and political dynamics of the era. The reverse displays the distinctive dagger mint mark with counter-strikes, characteristic of coins from this period. Weighing 12.96 grams, this copper specimen exhibits a Very Fine condition, showcasing excellent detail retention despite centuries of circulation. The presence of counter-strikes and mint marks adds to its historical authenticity and collector appeal. Indore State coinage is highly sought after among Indian numismatists due to its rarity and cultural significance. This piece is particularly valuable for collectors focused on Mughal-era regional currencies, medieval Indian history, or those specializing in temple-inspired iconography on coins. The combination of historical importance, scarcity, and well-preserved condition makes this a remarkable addition to any serious numismatic collection. #
