The Pysa was a Zanzibari coin that was struck in AH1299 (1882) an AH1304 (1887). The obverses of these coins have a pair of scales. The name 'Pysa' is derived from the currency units 'Pice' and 'Paisa'. The AH1299 1 Pysa often turns up in old coin collections, but the AH1304 coin very seldom turns up. Both coins were struck at Heaton's Mint, Birmingham, England.
