This exceptional Copper Paisa represents a fascinating piece of Indian numismatic history from the Indore State during the reign of Shah Alam II (1759-1806). Minted at the prestigious Ujjain Mint, this coin bears the distinctive Dagger mint mark, making it a particularly sought-after specimen among serious collectors.

Weighing 14.16 grams with a diameter of 19.13mm, the obverse features the inscription “Shah Alam Badshah Ghazi,” while the reverse displays “Maimanat sanah julus”—both hallmarks of authentic Mughal-era coinage. What makes this piece exceptionally rare is its unlisted status in standard catalogs like Krause-Mishler (KM), indicating it’s a scarce variety that escaped mainstream numismatic documentation.

Graded in Very Fine condition, this copper paisa showcases excellent preservation despite its 250+ year history. The dagger mint mark is particularly significant as it distinguishes coins from specific production periods and locations. For collectors of Indian regional coinage, Mughal-era currencies, or those specializing in Indore State numismatics, this represents an outstanding acquisition—a tangible connection to 18th-century Indian monetary systems and regional sovereignty.
