Sultans of Dehli, Islam Shah, Shergarh Qanauj paisa unlisted in G/G

[Rajagopal]

The following coin is unlisted in G/G.. It weighs 20.9 grams and has a strange shape ..The reading of the obverse would be 'abul muzaffar/ islam shah/ (bin) sher shah sultan garh/ qanauj/ sher urf" (subject to correction from senior collectors) and the reverse has the usual legends...However, G/G mentions a half paisa of the same type (D 1043)..Kindly comment.Thanks...Rajagopal

Not quite sure what your question is, Rajagopal. I suspect it may be "is 20.9 grams an acceptable weight for a half paisa". It seems pretty heavy to me.

Its definitely an unlisted paisa.... However,  only a half paisa of same type is listed in G/G..... Sorry if my previous message created some confusion

it's an unlisted Paisa of type G1043 for sure,  also oddly shaped as most Suri paisas are reasonably round

Got another dated specimen of the same type AH 956, weighs 20.7 grams..However, the arrangement of letters on reverse is slightly different from the first coin
