| Additional information |
Paithan — ancient Pratishthana, once the Satavahana capital — operated as a minor feudatory mint within the Nizam's domains, striking copper cash for purely local circulation. These pieces rarely traveled far. The Hyderabad Residency's records from the early nineteenth century document persistent complaints about the proliferation of substandard feudatory copper, much of it underweight and inconsistently alloyed, circulating alongside the Nizam's official issues in rural markets where no one had the means or authority to refuse them.
