This exceptional copper paisa represents a fascinating piece of Indian numismatic history from the 18th century AD. Minted at the Karanja Mint under the Hyderabad State Feudatory of Elichpur, this coin exemplifies the regional coinage that flourished during the Mughal decline period. The obverse features a distinctive tiger walking rightward—a unique and symbolic design rarely seen on Indian coins of this era—while the reverse displays Zarb inscriptions with the characteristic ‘Small Trishul’ mint mark, a hallmark of this particular mint’s authentication.

Weighing 11.04 grams with a diameter of 16.71mm, this KM C21 cataloged specimen showcases outstanding preservation in Very Fine condition. The tiger motif underscores Elichpur’s distinct regional identity and artistic heritage. Collectors prize these feudatory coins for their historical significance, representing the diverse monetary systems that existed independently across India before centralized currency. The rarity of this specific issue, combined with its excellent condition and documented pedigree in standard catalogs, makes it a must-have for serious numismatists focusing on pre-colonial Indian states or regional currency systems. A genuine investment piece in numismatic history.
