Additional information

Malhar Rao Gaekwad's reign ended in 1875 with his deposition by the British — one of the few instances of a ruling prince removed not by succession or death but by formal trial, found guilty of misgovernance and an alleged poisoning attempt on the British Resident. Coins struck under his authority in the final years before removal carry that administrative rupture implicitly; production would have wound down sharply as the colonial apparatus moved to install Sayaji Rao III.
