This is an exceptional copper 1/4 Anna coin minted during the reign of Sikander Jahan Begam of Bhopal State, one of India’s most significant princely states. Dated AH1286 (approximately 1868-1901 AD), this piece represents a fascinating chapter in pre-independence Indian numismatics. The obverse features the date and denomination elegantly divided and inscribed in Persian script, while the reverse displays the mint name in the same classical script. Weighing 7.46 grams and catalogued as KM Y4.4, this coin is graded in Very Fine condition, indicating well-preserved details with minimal wear. As a scarce issue from a female-led state during the British Raj era, it holds significant historical and numismatic importance. Collectors particularly value Bhopal State coinage for its relative rarity and the progressive governance of Sikander Jahan Begam. This copper denomination is increasingly sought after as collectors recognize the historical significance of women rulers in numismatic history. An ideal addition for serious collectors of Indian princely state coins and those interested in pre-modern monetary systems.
