This exceptional copper 2 Pies coin from Mewar State represents a fascinating piece of Indian numismatic history. Minted in Chitor during the reign of Shah Alam II (1759-1806), this fractional denomination showcases the region’s distinctive monetary system and artistic heritage. The obverse features a bold Trishul (three-pronged trident), while the reverse displays a double Trishul arranged in a cross pattern—symbolic religious iconography that reflects the Hindu-centric coinage of the princely state.

Weighing 2.22 grams and measuring 14.27mm in diameter, this specimen is catalogued as KM C2.2 and graded in Extremely Fine condition, indicating excellent preservation despite its age. The rarity of fractional denominations like the 2 Pies makes this particularly desirable to serious collectors. Mewar State coins are highly sought-after among Indian numismatists due to their limited mintage and historical significance during the late Mughal period. This piece represents both an investment in tangible history and a window into 18th-century Indian coinage practices. Collectors value such items for their archaeological importance, artistic merit, and potential appreciation in value.
