| Additional information |
Sayaji Rao III ruled Baroda from 1875 until the state's absorption into independent India in 1949 — one of the longest reigns among the major princely states. The British recognized him as a capable administrator, though relations were strained after the 1875 minority period during which a British political agent effectively ran the state. Baroda retained the right to strike its own coinage, a privilege jealously maintained, and the mint at Baroda produced silver rupees and fractions through the 1890s in parallel with British India issues.
The Y#35a designation distinguishes a die variety within the broader 1894–95 series.
