Delhi Sultanate, Suris, Islam Shah Suri(c. 1545-1552CE), Copper 1/2 Paisa, 9.20grms, Mintless Type, G&G#D1068, NW TYPE H, Very Fine+, Very Rare. ½ paisas are rarer than paisas because Islam Shah prioritised full paisas for army payments and tax circulation, while ½ paisas were struck sporadically and in limited numbers for local markets. Their heavier circulation, low intrinsic value, and poor preservation led to high attrition. Several mints issued them briefly, making surviving examples far scarcer than standard paisas
