This exceptional Copper Paisa represents a remarkable piece of Indian numismatic history from the Bhonsala Dynasty’s Nagpur mint. Issued during Parsoji II’s reign (AD 1816-1817), this copper coin weighs 13.52 grams and features Ahmad Shah Badshah on the obverse with the prestigious “Nagpur” mint designation on the reverse.

What makes this specimen truly extraordinary is its double-struck or counter-struck reverse—a rare minting error that occurred during the coin’s production, adding significant numismatic interest. Graded in Very Fine condition, this piece bears the natural patina of age while maintaining excellent detail visibility.

The Bhonsala rulers of Nagpur were prominent during the late Mughal period, and their coinage reflects the region’s complex political landscape. This Paisa exemplifies the transitional currency of early 19th-century Central India, combining traditional Mughal design elements with local mint characteristics. For serious numismatists and Indian history enthusiasts, this extremely rare variety represents both historical significance and investment potential, offering a tangible connection to Nagpur’s medieval economic heritage.
