The toka paisa is
a category of princely state coin which is not rare, but it has not
been classified fully.
The
Nizams of Hyderabad had coins produced in several privatized facilities. The
"Toka cash" coins are named after Toka Raj, who ran the Aurangabad
mint with a state licence after 1830.
The
obverses of these coins seem to be very variable (not only because the dies
were larger than the flans). I have not seen two which i could match visually
without hesitation.
Following
is another variety in these coins:
