1 Paisa Bahiri Feudatory, Shorapur

Shorapur was a small princely state in what is now northern Karnataka, ruled by the Nayaka dynasty as a feudatory under Hyderabad. The state's independent coinage effectively ended when Raja Venkatappa Nayaka led a revolt against the Nizam's authority in 1857 — one of the lesser-documented uprisings of that year — after which the British annexed Shorapur directly and the dynasty was extinguished. Coins attributed to this type span well over a century of nominal issue, making precise dating of individual specimens essentially impossible without die study.
