This is an exceptional piece of Indian numismatic history—a Copper Heavy Paisa from the Bhonsala Raja’s of Nagpur, dating to the 17th-18th century AD. The Bhonsala dynasty ruled the Nagpur region during a pivotal period of Indian history, and their coinage represents a fascinating blend of regional authority and monetary systems from that era.

The coin features distinctive iconography: the obverse displays a fish facing right with Persian numerals, while the reverse bears the denomination “falus/julus.” Weighing 18.08 grams and measuring 17.77 x 22.24 mm, this specimen is classified as Type 71.1 according to PP Kulkani’s authoritative cataloging system.

Graded in Very Fine condition, this coin retains excellent detail and is remarkably well-preserved for its age. Its rarity status makes it a highly sought-after addition to serious numismatic collections. The fish motif on Bhonsala coinage is particularly uncommon, adding significant historical and artistic appeal. Collectors value pieces like this for their historical significance, craftsmanship, and the window they provide into regional governance and trade practices during the Mughal and post-Mughal periods.
