| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central effigy of Maharaja Jivaji Rao Scindia facing left, depicted in traditional Indian court dress with an ornate necklace and turban, rendered in moderate relief. A beaded border runs along the coin's circumference. The surrounding legend in Devanagari script reads 'Shri Jivaji Rao Shinde Alijah Bahadur Gwalior', distributed around the field from upper left to lower right. The portrait is modelled in a style typical of late princely-state Indian coinage, combining elements of both indigenous and colonial numismatic traditions. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gwalior's coinage in the early 1940s occupied an awkward political position: the princely states retained nominal minting rights under British paramountcy, but wartime metal controls and the broader push toward post-independence monetary consolidation were already making such issues feel anachronistic. Jivaji Rao Scindia, the last ruling Maharaja of Gwalior, acceded to India in 1948, and state coinage effectively ceased with that transfer. Brass was the practical wartime choice — copper-nickel allocations were tightly controlled by the colonial administration for war production needs.
