| Additional information |
Bahawalpur's coinage under Sadiq Mohammed Khan V occupied an unusual administrative space — the state maintained its own mint authority well into the twentieth century despite being a British protectorate, a privilege jealously retained by the Nawabs through successive agreements. By 1940, most similarly-sized princely states had already surrendered minting rights, making Bahawalpur one of a shrinking handful still producing regal copper. The state would accede to Pakistan in 1947, after which its independent coinage ceased entirely.
