Tonk was a Muslim-ruled Rajput princely state in what is now Rajasthan, and by 1943 wartime disruption to metal supplies had forced dozens of Indian princely states to issue emergency paper fractions to replace copper coinage in everyday trade. The Anna denomination — one-sixteenth of a rupee — was the workhorse of small transactions, and its disappearance from circulation created genuine problems at the bazaar level.
Pick S455 is among the more obscure of these wartime princely cash coupons. Documentation on the printer and precise issuing authority within the Tonk durbar remains thin.
