| Additional information |
Jodhpur's copper fractionals of the 1940s occupy an awkward administrative moment: the princely state was still issuing its own coinage under Maharaja Umaid Singh while the Crown's broader standardization push was already compressing the autonomy of India's 500-odd princely states. Within three years of this coin's production, the Partition and subsequent integration process under Sardar Patel's States Ministry would render all such local issues obsolete. Umaid Singh signed the instrument of accession to the Indian Union in 1949.
