| Beschrijving voorzijde | Hammered silver flan bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in the Naskh-influenced script typical of late Mughal-derived princely coinage. The legend, reading 'George V' in Arabic characters, is distributed across the field in several lines, accompanied by small pellet ornaments scattered throughout. The irregular planchet and characteristic bold, deeply struck strokes are consistent with the hand-hammered technique employed at Tonk state. The flan edges are uneven, reflecting the artisanal nature of production. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tonk was the only princely state in Rajputana with a Muslim ruling dynasty, a result of Amir Khan's deal with the British East India Company in 1817 — he surrendered his Pindari freebooter operations in exchange for legitimized rule over a consolidated territory. The state retained the right to strike coins, and issues like this one bear the local ruler's name alongside the British sovereign's, a pairing that reflects the precise terms of subsidiary alliance.
Muhammad Ibrahim Ali Khan ruled Tonk from 1930, which places this 1928 striking under his predecessor, Saadat Ali Khan IV.
