This exceptional Copper Paisa represents a significant piece of Indian numismatic history from the Gwalior State during the reign of Maharaja Jayaji Rao (1843-1886 AD). Minted at the prestigious Lashkar Mint, this coin weighs 10.46 grams and features distinctive iconography reflecting the state’s cultural heritage. The obverse displays an elegant scimitar accompanied by legends, while the reverse showcases a sacred Trishul (trident) within an ornamental stand—symbols deeply rooted in Indian tradition and statecraft.

What makes this specimen particularly noteworthy is its classification as an **unlisted variety**, a designation that excites serious collectors as it indicates a previously undocumented or rare variant not catalogued in standard references. The Very Fine condition demonstrates excellent preservation despite its age, retaining clear details of both obverse and reverse designs.

Collectors prize Gwalior State coinage for its historical significance during pre-independence India and its artistic merit. This unlisted paisa is especially coveted as it fills gaps in comprehensive collections and represents the numismatic diversity of Indian princely states. Its rarity, combined with superior condition and unique design elements, makes it an outstanding investment for both seasoned numismatists and emerging collectors interested in authentic Indian heritage pieces.
