1 Anna

Kalat was a princely state in Balochistan under British suzerainty, ruled by Khan Ahmad Yar Khan during this period. The state issued its own currency notes despite having no formal central bank — a prerogative extended to certain princely states under indirect British rule. These notes circulated within Kalat's territory alongside British Indian currency rather than replacing it.

The Anna denomination places this firmly in the sub-rupee fractional tier, which most princely state issuers avoided entirely. That Kalat printed fractional paper suggests genuine local demand rather than ceremonial issue.
