This exceptional copper Paisa represents a significant piece of Indian numismatic history from 18th century Hyderabad State, specifically from the feudatory region of Basmatnagar. The coin weighs 10.18 grams and features a distinctive palm or hand symbol on the obverse, with traces of symbolic markings visible on the reverse—a characteristic design of feudatory coinages during this period.

Basmatnagar, as a feudatory under the Hyderabad Nizam’s administration, had limited coining authority, making coins from this region particularly scarce and historically valuable. This piece exemplifies the regional monetary systems that flourished in pre-colonial and early colonial India. The Very Fine condition indicates excellent preservation despite its age, with clear legibility and minimal wear.

For numismatists and collectors of Indian historical coins, this Paisa offers authentic insight into feudatory administration and local trade practices. Its rarity, combined with the specific iconography and historical provenance, makes it an outstanding addition to any serious collection. The copper composition and pristine grading ensure both authenticity and investment appeal for those seeking genuine artifacts from India’s rich monetary heritage.
