This exceptional Copper Paisa represents a significant piece of Indian numismatic history from the Gwalior State during the reign of Daulat Rao (1794-1827 AD). Struck at the prestigious Ujjain Dar ul Fath Mint, this coin exemplifies the sophisticated coinage of the Maratha era. The obverse features the Shah Alam II inscription with a distinctive slanted spear mint mark, while the reverse displays the traditional Persian legend "Manus Maimanat Sanah julus zarb" accompanied by an elegant floral mint mark. Weighing 10.40 grams and measuring 17.51 x 16.99 mm, this specimen is graded in Very Fine condition, showcasing remarkable preservation for its age. The Gwalior coinage from this period is increasingly scarce in the collector's market, making authenticated examples particularly valuable. This coin bridges Mughal and Maratha monetary traditions, reflecting the complex political dynamics of early 19th-century India. Ideal for serious numismatists, historians, and collectors of Indian princely state coinage, this piece offers both historical significance and investment potential. Its rarity and historical context make it a worthy addition to any distinguished collection of Indian coins. #
