This exceptional Copper Paisa represents a significant piece of Indian numismatic history from the Ratlam State during the reign of Maharaja Ranjit Singh (1864-1893). Minted in Vikram Samvat 1947 (corresponding to 1890 AD), this coin showcases the revered Lord Hanuman in a walking pose on its obverse, while the reverse displays the denomination and date details.

Catalogued as KM # 25, this thin planchet specimen weighs 2.89 grams with a diameter of 23.14 mm. The coin exhibits an Extremely Fine condition, demonstrating excellent preservation despite its age of over 130 years. Its scarcity in the numismatic market makes it a prized acquisition for serious collectors of Indian princely state coinage and Hindu-themed currency artifacts.

The Ratlam State coins are relatively uncommon in collections, and pieces featuring religious iconography like Hanuman hold particular appeal to both numismatists and those interested in Indian cultural heritage. This coin serves as a tangible connection to the pre-independence era of Indian princely kingdoms and represents an attractive investment opportunity for collectors seeking authentic historical artifacts with both monetary and cultural significance.
