Description
Delhi Sultanate, Suris, Islam Shah Suri(c. 1545-1552CE), Copper 1/8 Paisa, 2.50grms, Mintless Type, Obv. shāh/ islām / sher shāh / sulļān, Rev. khalifat al-zamān al-'ādil, G&G#D1085, Very Fine+, Very Scarce. 1/8 paisa coins are extremely rare. They were emergency, fractional issues, struck in very small quantities for micro-transactions in local markets. Islam Shah’s administration focused on full paisas, not tiny fractions. Their tiny size, rapid wear, melting, and neglect by hoarders caused very low survival. Many mints issued them briefly or not at all.
