augsburger Pillar of the Community Germany 1071 Posts	Posted 09/02/2026 03:02 am Okay, I've been going through my collection, and I came across this. Not sure which way is the right way up. I did a search on copilot which said "A 1920 Shivaji commemorative 1 paisa token from Maharashtra, India" But I can't find anything else about this. It said something completely different before, which is clearly wasn't. What is this? Is it just a local token? Was it official currency? Can it be found on Numista? I don't know where I got this coin from. I don't have anything else like it. No known people who went to British India in the army or anything like that. Report this Post to the Staff

augsburger Pillar of the Community Germany 1071 Posts	Posted 09/02/2026 07:22 am How did I get this in the banknotes section? But the copilot said 1 Paisa and it would seem more like https://en.numista.com/13987 Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

That information could help us narrow this down. Thx.
