Lots of neat coins! The Bahawalpur 1/2 Pice is in beautiful condition! Nice luster. (The stamps of the former Princely State are well worth collecting). A few of mine: From the princely state of Cutch, in Gujarat, minted during the reign of Bharmaliji II (1814-1819) in the name of Mughal emperor Akbar II   A BEIC copper Pice (1/2 I think) from the 1830s from the Bengal Presidency Obverse  Reverse  Speaking of Mughal emperor Akbar II (r. 1806-1837)... Copper, c. 1807   And finally a slightly older piece, from the Mauryan Empire (tentatively attributed to Ashoka) Obverse  Reverse  |

When these aren't worn down, the amount of detail you can see incorporated into the queen's portrait on such a small coin is impressive.   Colligo ergo sum

I have a large amount of different modern Indian coins from the past 100 years or so, but quick question for you all: I've noticed that the more recent Indian coins almost always look to be in worn condition, with much of the lettering and designs looking rubbed off. Is this just a result of wear from circulation, or do the coins just tend to be minted with weak strikes? It's been a real challenge finding nice looking examples of some of the denominations.

1890 Paisa of Ratlam (Ratnapuri). Thick planchet copper coin featuring the monkey god Haruman. A really neat coin that I just liked the style and design on and so I picked it up.

I found this pair somewhat amusing. Kind of, like, just in case the numerals aren't a clear enough indication of the denomination....   Colligo ergo sum
