Comment
Reference: Mitchiner Non-Islamic 649 - 652Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Gadahaiya Paisa coin is that it was used as a medium of exchange in the Indian Northern Dynasties during the 13th century, specifically in the regions of Malwa and Kokan. Despite being made of billon, a copper and silver alloy, the coin was still considered valuable and widely accepted in trade. This speaks to the resourcefulness and adaptability of the people in this region, who were able to create a functional currency despite the limited availability of precious metals.
