1/2 Rupee - George V [Raghubir Singhji]

Bundi was one of the smaller Rajput states in the Hadoti region, nominally under British paramountcy but retaining its own coinage rights well into the twentieth century. Raghubir Singhji ruled from 1889 to 1927, and this issue spans the final decade of his reign — a period when most princely states were quietly abandoning local silver coinage as British Indian currency became increasingly dominant by policy and practicality.

The KM#10.1 and 10.2 varieties reflect die differences documented by collectors, not separate issues — Bundi's mint output was small enough that die transitions went unannounced.
