Description
Product Description:
The 2 Paise copper-nickel coin was issued by the Government of India in 1964 as part of the early decimal coinage system. The obverse features the Lion Capital of Ashoka with “भारत / INDIA”, while the reverse displays the denomination “2 Paise,” the year of issue, and scalloped (flower-shaped) border design.
Struck in copper-nickel alloy, this coin is heavier and more durable compared to later aluminium-magnesium issues. Today, it is a collectible piece valued by numismatists and vintage Indian coin enthusiasts.
