This exceptional Copper Paisa represents a significant piece of Indian numismatic history from the princely state of Ratlam during the reign of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Minted in Vikram Samvat 1947 (equivalent to 1890 AD), this coin exemplifies the regional coinage traditions of 19th-century India before British standardization. The coin features an impressive obverse depicting Lord Hanuman in a walking pose facing left—a distinctive religious motif that underscores the cultural identity of Ratlam State. The reverse displays the denomination and date, maintaining the elegant simplicity characteristic of regional Indian coins of this period. Weighing 2.99 grams with a diameter of 22.93mm, this thin planchet specimen (KM# 25) is notably scarce in collector circles. Graded in Extremely Fine condition, this paisa showcases impressive preservation with well-defined details and minimal wear, making it a premium example for serious collectors. Its rarity, combined with its historical significance as a state coin from a lesser-documented princely authority, makes it an invaluable addition to collections focused on Indian regional numismatics, state coinage, or religious iconography in currency. --- #
