| Additional information |
Bundi's coinage under Raghubir Singhji (r. 1889–1927) reflects the fractured monetary reality of Rajputana, where dozens of princely states retained the right to strike their own silver under British paramountcy, producing coins that were legally valid locally but practically useless beyond a day's travel. The Political Department in Delhi spent decades trying to consolidate these issues into the imperial system with limited success.
Bundi's dies were notably inconsistent across this period, and pieces from the 1906–1909 window frequently show misaligned or partially impressed strikes — a product of minimal mint infrastructure rather than any systematic problem.
