1/4 Rupee - George V / Anonymous Regal Style, First Series, Mule

Kishangarh's mule issues arose from the practical realities of a small princely state mint operating with limited die inventory — when a matched pair wasn't available, mismatched obverse and reverse dies from different series were simply combined and struck. This particular mule pairs the George V regal obverse with the anonymous reverse of the First Series, a combination that would have circulated without ceremony alongside regular issues.

Kishangarh, a small Rajputana state, retained minting rights under its own authority well into the 20th century despite British paramountcy tightening across the subcontinent.
