Comment

¼ Paisa in the name of Alamgir II

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ¼ Paisa coin from the Nawabdom of the Carnatic is that it was issued during the reign of Alamgir II, who was the last ruler of the Carnatic dynasty. Despite being made of copper, this coin was still considered a valuable form of currency during its time.
