India-British, Bombay Presidency KM 253, copper 1/2 anna 1249 AH/1834 AD. This coin is one of the last to be issued before unification of the British Indian coinage system (Act XVII of 1835.) However, in 1824, Bombay had already acepted the Madras standard for silver and the Madras standard was the basis for the reform of 1835, so the coin remained in circulation. Since a few different dies are known, I suspect it was struck in large quantities with a frozen date for a few more years, while the 1835 coins were back-dated. Both types are common, but hard to find in VF or better.

It's NGC population numbers are very low too. Just 2 coins on it.
Also from what I have seen, these coins can be very hard to get in higher grades!

Nice coin. Is it 'Aain' 'Ra' 'laam'? If so or not what do they indicate?
