Comment
Burhanpur mint. Weight varies 12.44 - 15.29 gramsInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Paisa - Jayaji Rao (Burhanpur) ND (1844-1859) coin from the Princely state of Gwalior is that it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coinage during that time period. However, it's worth noting that the use of copper for coins was gradually phased out in the late 19th century as the British Indian government introduced new coinage systems that were more durable and harder to counterfeit.
