Vithalgadh was among the smaller Kathiawar princely states that issued emergency cash coupons during World War II, when metal coinage disappeared from circulation due to wartime commodity demands. These low-denomination paper substitutes filled the gap left by hoarded copper and bronze coins — a problem acute enough across British India that hundreds of local authorities, municipalities, and princely states produced their own stopgap scrip between roughly 1942 and 1945.
The Anna denomination places this squarely in the fractional currency problem: getting change for everyday transactions became genuinely difficult. Pick S461 is among the more obscure entries in the Kathiawar section, with documented survivors extremely rare.
