This exceptional Copper Paisa represents a fascinating piece of 18th-century Indian numismatic history, issued by Namdar Khan of the Hyderabad Feudatory of Elichpur. The coin weighs 11.57 grams and features distinctive iconography—a tiger positioned leftward on the obverse, symbolizing power and authority, while the reverse bears the Persian inscription “zarb elichpur,” indicating the mint location.

Elichpur held significant strategic and commercial importance during the Mughal era and its successor states. This copper denomination served as everyday currency for common transactions, making surviving examples particularly valuable to collectors. The Very Fine condition indicates well-preserved details despite centuries of circulation, showcasing the original tiger design and inscription clarity that collectors prize.

This coin is catalogued as KM # C10a in standard numismatic references, establishing its authenticity and rarity. For serious collectors of Indian feudatory coinage, regional currencies, and 18th-century metallurgical artifacts, this paisa offers genuine historical substance and investment potential. Its scarcity, combined with the distinctive tiger motif and documented provenance, makes it an outstanding addition to any collection focused on pre-colonial Indian monetary systems.
