This exceptional copper paisa represents a significant piece of Maratha numismatic history, issued under Chhatrapati Shahu's reign during the twilight of the Maratha Confederacy (AD 1777-1808). Weighing 9.04 grams, this coin features the distinctive "Shri 733/Raja" inscription on the obverse and "Chhatra/Pati" on the reverse, showcasing the royal insignia of the Maratha rulers. What makes this specimen particularly noteworthy is its rare Fasli date marking (FS 733), reflecting the Islamic calendar system used in Maratha coinage. The Very Fine condition demonstrates excellent preservation with minimal wear, allowing clear visibility of the intricate designs and inscriptions that characterize this era's metalwork. For collectors of Indian numismatics, this paisa holds substantial historical and monetary value. The Maratha Confederacy period represents a crucial juncture in Indian history, and coins from this era are increasingly scarce in quality grades. This piece serves as both an authentic historical artifact and a compelling investment, offering insights into the economic systems and artisanal craftsmanship of 18th-century India. Its rarity, combined with superior condition and documented provenance, makes it an essential addition to serious collections. --- #
