This exceptional Copper Paisa represents a fascinating piece of Indian numismatic history from the Dhar State, dating back to the 17th-18th century AD. Dhar State, located in present-day Madhya Pradesh, was an important principality that issued its own coinage during the Mughal era. This dump coinage specimen features distinctive Nagari numerals—"12" on the obverse and "0" within a dotted circle on the reverse—reflecting the unique administrative and monetary systems of the period. Weighing 11.05 grams with a diameter of 17.27mm, this copper coin is graded in Extremely Fine condition, making it a desirable acquisition for serious collectors. The preservation of its intricate details and the clarity of the Nagari inscriptions demonstrate its historical significance.

This piece serves as a tangible connection to medieval Indian regional governance and trade practices, making it an invaluable addition to any collection focused on Indian numismatics or regional history. Its scarcity and historical provenance make it both an excellent investment and educational artifact.
