Additional information

Indore's copper coinage of this period was struck under the authority of the Holkar dynasty, which had navigated a turbulent relationship with the British East India Company since the early nineteenth century. By 1850, the state operated under a subsidiary alliance that left internal administration — including coinage — nominally intact, though British commercial pressure was steadily homogenizing currency across princely territories. This piece predates the absorption of many Holkar issues into the post-1857 standardization push that followed the Uprising.
