This exceptional Copper Paisa represents a fascinating piece of Indian numismatic history, minted during the reign of the Bhonsala Rajas of Nagpur (1759-1806). Struck in the name of Shah Alam II, the coin bears authentic legends and iconography characteristic of this influential regional dynasty. The obverse features Shah Alam II inscriptions topped with a Chandra (crescent) symbol, while the reverse displays the Persian inscription "Manus maimanat sanah julus" alongside a distinctive Double Leaf solid flag and additional mint marks—a hallmark of Nagpur coinage. Weighing 16.38 grams with a diameter of 20.01mm, this paisa exemplifies the metalwork of 18th-century India. The Bhonsala Rajas were powerful Marathi rulers who played a crucial role in Indian politics during the Mughal decline, making their coinage highly sought after by numismatists. The Double Leaf Flag variety is particularly scarce and represents an important typological variant. In Extremely Fine condition, this coin showcases excellent detail retention and minimal wear—a rarity for copper coinages from this era. Ideal for serious collectors interested in Marathi history, regional Indian numismatics, or Mughal-period monetary systems, this piece offers both historical significance and investment potential. #
