<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 198849, member: 283&quot;]I&#039;ve mainly tried to stick to silver coins but with India i made an exception being intrigued by some of the copper coinages of the Princely States.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a couple of slugs of copper. The first is a copper paisa from Jaipur under Maddo Singh minted somewhere between 1760 and 1775 I believe. It is a good bit smaller in diameter than my Krause states, which makes me think that it is a half paisa but Krause does not list one (?). It is rather thick (approx 6-8mm) and its condition is a good bit better than the scan would have you believe.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/921282.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The second is a copper `Takka&#039; from Jodhpur and circa 1806. It is the size of a rupee and twice as thick. The obverse has been struck off flan, but the reverse is a pretty good centred strike.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/921283.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
