| Sikkim, Copper 1 Paisa, 5.10g, Thutab Namgyel, (VS 1931-1968/1874-1911 AD), Obv: Sri Sri Sri Sikimapati Maharaj. Rev: Sri Sri Sri Sikima Sarkara. There was no local coinage in Sikkim until the arrival of a number of Nepalese traders in the late 19th century. The Nepalese Pradhan brothers acquired some land and also the right to mine copper. Some of this copper they wished to use for striking coins which they hoped they could use for trade with Nepal and the Darjeling area. The coins, often poorly struck, are similar to contemporary Nepalese copper coins, except for the Sikkim legend. They were struck between 1883 and 1885. KM 3.1. Fine+, Very Scarce. |
