| Additional information |
Dungarpur was among the smaller Rajput states of the Bhil-dominated southern Rajputana region, and its coinage remained largely ceremonial by the 1940s — the Bretton Woods era had long since made princely gold issues irrelevant to actual commerce. Lakshman Singh acceded to the gaddi in 1918 and would sign the instrument of accession to the Indian Union in 1948, effectively ending Dungarpur's independent monetary prerogative within five years of this coin's striking.
Farouk reference 1112 places this among the rarer half-mohur issues of the smaller Rajputana states.
