Bhopal State , Hayat muhammad khan , Shujalpur mint , Paisa , Rare

[sarwar khan]

The state was founded in 1707 CE by Dost Mohammad Khan, a Pashtun soldier in the Mughal  army, who became a mercenary after the Emperor Aurangzeb's death and annexed several territories to his fiefdom. It came under the suzerainty of the Nizam of Hyderabad in 1723 shortly after its foundation. In 1737, Marathas defeated the Mughals and the Nawab of Bhopal in the Battle of Bhopal, and started collecting tribute from the state. After the defeat of the Marathas in the Third Anglo-Maratha War, Bhopal became a British princely state in 1818. Bhopal State was the second largest state in pre-independence India, with a Muslim leadership, first being Hyderabad State. The state was merged into the Union of India in 1949 as Bhopal.

Nicely preserved coin, brought to life with your description and especially the overlay. The regnal year 48 is puzzling, since you say Hayat Muhammad Khan reigned from 1777 to 1807.
