1/8 Rupee - New Chandori Series

Mewar's New Chandori series replaced the older Chandori coinage following pressure from the British Resident to regularize the state's currency. Mewar had maintained unusual monetary independence among Rajput states well into the nineteenth century, and the resulting series ran with remarkable consistency for nearly five decades under multiple maharanas.

The prolonged emission span across 1842–1890 means dies were recut repeatedly, producing enough minor variety among specimens to frustrate precise attribution by date sub-period.
