This exceptional Copper Paisa represents a significant piece of Indian numismatic history from the Bhonsala Raja’s reign in Nagpur. Minted during Raghuji III’s rule (1818-1853 AD / AH1233-1270), this coin exemplifies the cultural and political landscape of 19th-century central India. The obverse bears the inscription “Ahmad Shah Badshah,” while the reverse showcases the distinctive Trishul symbol—a sacred Hindu emblem reflecting the Bhonsala dynasty’s Hindu heritage alongside Islamic influences, a hallmark of the region’s syncretic coinage tradition.

Weighing 9.24 grams with a diameter of 16.62mm, this Type 49.1 specimen is graded in Very Fine condition, indicating excellent preservation with minimal wear. The Persian mint designation “Nagpur” on the reverse adds historical authenticity and geographic significance. As an artifact from the pre-colonial period, this paisa appeals to serious collectors interested in regional Indian coinage, the Deccan’s political history, and numismatic diversity. The combination of rarity, historical context, and well-preserved condition makes it a valuable acquisition for museums, historians, and dedicated coin enthusiasts seeking authentic representations of India’s numismatic heritage.
