1 Paisa - Jayaji Rao 'Tegh Shahi' paisa

Jayaji Rao Scindia ruled Gwalior under heavy British paramountcy, and the "Tegh Shahi" designation on this copper paisa refers to a local regal attribution rather than an independent monetary system — the Scindia dynasty retained the form of princely coinage while British India increasingly dominated actual commerce. Gwalior was among the last major princely states to issue indigenous copper before the colonial standardization push of the 1870s and 1880s forced most states toward British-pattern currency.
