| Additional information |
Gwalior was among the more numismatically active of the Central Indian princely states, continuing to strike its own copper coinage well into the period when the British Indian government was actively pressuring states to abandon independent minting. Jivaji Rao Scindia acceded to the throne in 1925 at age three, meaning the coins struck under his name during the early part of this range were issued under a regency council dominated by British political officers.
KM#177 spans a notably long production window for a princely issue — the type persisted until Indian independence was imminent and local minting of fractional copper became economically pointless.
