This exceptional Copper Paisa from Hyderabad State represents a significant piece of Indian numismatic history. Minted during the reign of Asaf Jah Nizam al-mulk in the 17th-18th century AD at the prestigious Balapur mint, this coin carries the weight of centuries and royal heritage. Weighing 9.46 grams, the obverse features the name of the Nizam, while the reverse displays “Zarb (Ba)lapur,” indicating its place of manufacture.

What makes this specimen particularly prized among collectors is its unlisted status in standard catalogs and its extremely fine condition—a rarity for coins of this antiquity. The Hyderabad State coinage represents a unique period when the Nizam maintained autonomous minting rights, making these pieces highly sought after by serious numismatists and history enthusiasts.

This coin is ideal for collectors focused on Mughal-era Indian coinage, regional sultanate currencies, or those building comprehensive collections of pre-modern Indian monetary systems. Its exceptional preservation and scarcity make it both a valuable investment and an authentic window into Hyderabad’s glorious past.
