This exceptional Copper Paisa represents a fascinating piece of Indian numismatic history from the Bhonsala Raja’s of Nagpur, one of the prominent regional powers of 17th-18th century India. Minted during the reign of Shah Alam II (AD 1759-1806), this copper coin features the distinctive double leaf hollow flag design—a signature element of Bhonsala coinage that sets it apart from contemporary issues.

The obverse displays the inscription “Shah Alam Badshah Ghazi Sikka Mubarak,” acknowledging the nominal suzerainty of the Mughal emperor, while the reverse bears “Manus Maimanat Sanah Julus” along with the characteristic double leaf flag emblem. Weighing 17.54 grams and measuring 21.32mm in diameter, this coin exemplifies the craftsmanship of Nagpur’s mint.

Graded in Very Fine condition, this piece showcases well-preserved details with minimal wear, making it highly desirable for serious collectors. The Bhonsala coinage is increasingly sought after by historians and numismatists interested in regional Mughal-era currencies and the transition of Indian monetary systems. This coin represents both historical significance and investment potential, serving as a tangible connection to an important chapter of Indian heritage.
