Copper
Shah Alam II (1759-1806 AD), 'fish' type copper paisa, Shahjahanabad mint, RY32, 8.30g.
Extremely fine, Rare.
The coin is unusual for two reasons - 1. The obverse legend is Fulus Shah AlamBadshah Ghazi, unlike the usual AlamShahiFulus 2. The fish on the reverse faces left, unlike the usual right. Quality of the engraving suggests this must have been an issue of the imperial mint, unlike most other 'fish'-type coins with mint name Shahjahanabad which are later KachchaPaisas.
