Comment
Inscribed Gadhiya Paisas are found in Malwa Region and are believed to have issues for temple offerings. Please Refer to P.C. Roy's "Coins of Northen India" Book Page 142 for more details.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Gadhaiya Paisa coin is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's inscriptions are in both Sanskrit and Arabic, reflecting the cultural exchange and syncretism that characterized the Northern Dynasties period in India. This coin is a rare example of a coin that showcases the fusion of two distinct cultural traditions, making it a valuable piece for collectors and historians.
