This exceptional Copper Paisa represents a significant piece of Indian numismatic history from the Ratlam State, dating to the 18th century AD. Issued during the 'Raej' period, this coin bears the prestigious inscription of Shah Alam II on its obverse, accompanied by an elegantly rendered curled floral branch that showcases the artistic craftsmanship of the era. The reverse features intricate Persian inscriptions contained within a distinctive octagonal decorative frame adorned with dotted patterns, with the Persian 'Raej' mark prominently displayed at its center. Weighing 13.22 grams, this copper specimen exhibits a Very Fine condition despite its age, demonstrating remarkable preservation. The Ratlam State coinage is highly sought after by serious collectors due to its limited mintage and historical significance during the Mughal period's decline. This particular variety with its octagonal design and floral motifs is exceptionally scarce, making it a prized addition to any Indian coin collection. The confluence of Mughal administration and local state authority reflected in this coin makes it invaluable for historians and numismatists studying India's colonial transition period.
