Recovered Coins - India

Below are actual photos of coins from India that I've recovered in the United Kingdom. I have included detailed sample photos for reference if my recovered item was in rough shape. All of these are "natural" finds. I have never participated in a seeded hunt.

The Bengal Presidency copper ½ anna coin, was minted at Pulta (Fulta). At the time, India was under the rule of the British East India Company in the Bengal Presidency. The coin was issued in the name of the Mughal emperor Shah Alam II, around 1781 AD.
