Copper
Hyderabad, Sikandar Jah (1803-1829 AD), copper 1 anna, 38.19g, Farkhanda Bunyad Hyderabad mint, in the name of Muhammad Akbar II, AH 1236, struck with die for silver coinage.
Fine, Unique so far.
This unique heavy weight Anna must have been struck during the period of high demand for small value copper coins prompted by the growth of cotton cultivation and trade in the Berar region. Although most likely to be a 'Kachcha' issue, it is evidently struck with official dies and thus, must have been issued from a government-run mint. It has exceptional rarity and importance as a copper coin.
