| 表面の説明 | Hammered gold field bearing the regal Persian-script legend of Edward VII rendered in the Mughal epigraphic tradition, with multi-line Nastaliq calligraphy occupying the central field. The inscription is arranged in diagonal registers across the flan, with floral or foliate ornamental devices visible at the margins, consistent with the regal style adopted by Kishangarh under British suzerainty. The die-work is characteristic of indigenous hand-engraving in the early twentieth-century Rajputana tradition. |

| 裏面の説明 | Central field depicting the Jhar, the dynastic floral spray emblem of the Kishangarh state, rendered as a stylised flowering plant with multiple blossoms and buds rising from foliage, occupying the majority of the flan. Accompanying the Jhar device is the name of the ruling prince Madan Singh in Persian-script lettering, partially visible in the upper register. The overall composition is typical of Rajputana princely coinage in the hammered tradition, with the floral motif boldly struck in high relief. |

Kishangarh was among the smaller Rajput states that chose to issue gold coinage in the regal style following Edward VII's accession — a political gesture as much as a monetary one, aligning the durbar's loyalty visibly with the new imperial crown. Madan Singh ruled Kishangarh from 1900 to 1926, and this quarter mohur dates to the earliest years of his reign, when such demonstrations of fealty carried genuine diplomatic weight with the British Residents overseeing Rajputana.
The mohur weight standard in Kishangarh adhered loosely to Mughal-derived conventions, though by 1902 virtually no quarter mohur from any Rajput state saw meaningful circulation.
