| Beschrijving keerzijde | The field is entirely covered by a bold Nastaliq inscription rendered in Persian script, reading the full name of the nawab, Muhammad Ibrahim Ali Khan, the ruling prince of Tonk under whose authority this coin was issued. The calligraphic legend is deeply struck yet shows characteristic irregularities in relief and flan shape consistent with hammered production. No border, rim, or decorative device is present; the inscription fills the planchet to its irregular edges. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tonk was the only princely state in Rajputana with a Muslim ruling dynasty, a consequence of the Pindari leader Amir Khan's 1817 treaty with the British East India Company, which converted his mercenary dominion into a recognized princely state. Muhammad Ibrahim Ali Khan, who reigned from 1930 after his father's death — though coins bearing his name were struck slightly earlier under his authority — presided over a state whose coinage rights were a jealously maintained mark of sovereignty within the British paramountcy system.
The Y#A24 designation places this among the later regal coppers of Tonk, struck when most neighboring states had already abandoned independent coinage in favor of British Indian issues.
