1 Paisa - Sadiq Muhammad Khan V

Bahawalpur's copper paise of this period were struck under the rule of Nawab Sadiq Muhammad Khan V, who governed the state from 1907 until its accession to Pakistan in 1947. The Y#7.2 designation distinguishes this from the closely related 7.1 variety — differences typically found in die details or mint execution rather than specification changes. Bahawalpur maintained its own coinage authority longer than many princely states, a privilege tied to the Nawabs' consistent cooperation with the British administration and their status as one of the wealthiest ruling families in the subcontinent.
