Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Paisa (Bhonslas) coin from the Maratha Empire is that it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coinage during that time period. Copper was chosen for its durability and affordability, as it was a relatively inexpensive metal compared to other options like gold or silver. Despite being made of a less valuable metal, the 2 Paisa coin still held significant value in the economy of the Maratha Empire, and it remains an important piece of history for numismatists and collectors today.
