Kishangarh's coinage under George V retained the feudatory regal style permitted to certain Rajputana states under the Crown's paramountcy arrangements — a system that allowed local minting to continue as a political concession rather than an economic necessity. Madan Singh, who ruled from 1900 to 1926, was among the last generation of princes to issue coins in their own names before the broader standardization pressures of the 1920s made such issues increasingly anachronistic.
Kishangarh's mint output was modest, and these quarter rupees circulated within a small, largely rural princely state of under 900 square miles.
