1 Paisa - Sher Shah Suri Narnol

Sher Shah Suri's administrative reforms between 1540 and 1545 extended well beyond the famous silver rupee — he overhauled the entire copper coinage to create a rationalized tri-metallic system that the Mughals would later inherit almost intact. The Narnol mint, operating in present-day Haryana, was one of several provincial facilities pressed into service during his brief but transformative reign. Sher Shah died in 1545 when a misfired cannon ignited an ammunition store at the siege of Kalinjar, cutting short a reign of just five years.
