Comment
In the name of Bahadur Shah IIInteresting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Afzal-ad-Daula, who was the Nizam of Hyderabad from 1857 to 1869. During his reign, the state of Hyderabad underwent significant modernization and development, including the introduction of new currency and coinage systems. This ½ Paisa coin is a rare and valuable example of that era's currency, and its copper composition makes it a unique piece of numismatic history.
