 Elichpur (Hyderabad) was a feudatory state in India under sovereignty of the Nizams of Hyderabad. From approximately 1775 to 1830 it issued a thick, undated copper Paisa. The coin varied in size, however it usually weighed between 11 and 12 grams. One side features a crude lion, with its tail raised. The other side had the mint name in Persian. The hand-struck coin is typically somewhat off-center.
