| Aanvullende informatie |
Faridkot was among the smaller Sikh princely states in the Punjab, and its medallic gold issues of the 1940s occupy an awkward category — struck with coin-like formats but never intended for general circulation, produced instead as presentation or commemorative pieces tied to ceremonial occasions within the darbar. Harindar Singh Brar ruled Faridkot from 1906 until Indian independence, and issues bearing his name from this late period reflect the twilight of princely authority under the tightening administrative grip of the British Raj and the looming reality of paramountcy negotiations.
The ⅓ Mohur denomination itself is a deliberate historical reference, echoing Mughal fractional gold weight standards long after they held practical monetary meaning.
