Kaccha paisas were low-value copper coins used in India for everyday local transactions, especially in princely states and rural markets. The term kaccha means unofficial or loosely regulated, distinguishing them from pakka (official) coinage. These coins were often crudely struck, irregular in shape and weight, and issued by local rulers, zamindars, or mints without strict imperial standards. Kaccha paisas circulated alongside Mughal, Company, and princely coins, particularly during periods of weak central authority. Their variable quality reflects local economic needs rather than state-controlled monetary uniformity.
