| Beschrijving voorzijde | Hammered silver flan bearing dense Nagari and Persian calligraphic inscriptions arranged in multiple registers across the field, characteristic of the regal style coinage issued under the suzerainty of Edward VII. The legends reference the ruling British sovereign in the traditional Indo-Persian formulaic style. The irregular flan and hand-struck execution are consistent with the workshop production practices of the Kishangarh mint in the early twentieth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kishangarh was among the smaller Rajput states in the Ajmer region, and its coinage occupied an awkward position after 1858 — nominally feudatory to the British Crown but still operating its own mint with considerable local latitude. This piece was struck in the opening year of Edward VII's reign, when many princely states scrambled to update their regal-style issues to reflect the new sovereign. The "Madan Singh" element references the ruling thakur of Kishangarh at the time, a pairing of imperial and local authority that the British tolerated but increasingly discouraged as currency standardization pressure mounted through the early 1900s.
