Description

Issued between circa 1538–1545 CE during the reign of Sher Shah Suri, this copper Paisa belongs to the coinage of the Sur Empire. Sher Shah is renowned for introducing major administrative and monetary reforms, including a standardized currency system that influenced Indian coinage for centuries. Struck on an irregular round flan and weighing approximately 20.5 grams, this coin reflects the robust copper currency used in everyday circulation.

The obverse bears Persian inscriptions naming the ruler and royal titles, executed in bold calligraphic style typical of Sur Empire coinage.

The reverse carries additional Persian legends arranged across the flan in a linear format, showcasing the elegant epigraphic designs favored during Sher Shah’s reign.

Coins of Sher Shah Suri are highly regarded for their historical importance and connection to one of the most transformative periods in Indian monetary history. An excellent addition for collectors of Sur Empire, Sultanate, and early Indian copper coinage.
