| Reversbeschreibung | A stylized solar face (surya mukhi) dominates the central field, depicted frontally with a human visage rendered in low relief surrounded by radiating pointed sun rays extending to the coin's periphery. This solar motif was the dynastic emblem of the Holkar rulers of Indore and serves as the primary identifying device of the series. The design fills the entire reverse field with no additional legend or exergual inscription, conveying a bold and emblematic character consistent with Holkar princely coinage of the period. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Indore's coinage during this period occupies a strange constitutional position: nominally issued under Mughal suzerainty invoked through Shah Alam II's name, despite Shah Alam II having died in 1806 — nearly ninety years before these pieces were struck. The fiction of Mughal authority persisted on Indore coinage long after the empire itself had ceased to function, a bookkeeping convention the British found convenient to leave undisturbed while the Holkar dynasty managed its own affairs under the Raj.
Shivaji Rao Holkar ruled Indore from 1886 to 1903, a reign marked by significant financial mismanagement that would eventually prompt British intervention in the state's administration.
