| Reverse description | The reverse displays a Devanagari and Gujarati legend arranged in multiple horizontal lines across the central field, reading 'Shri Sorath Sarkar' (Government of Sorath) above the denomination '1 Dokdo', with the Samvat date in Gujarati numerals below. This variety is distinguished by the absence of rosettes, annulets, or stars between or around the inscriptions. The typography is bold and fills the flan, maintaining the purely epigraphic style characteristic of Junagadh copper coinage of this period. |

Junagadh's Muslim nawabs ruled a predominantly Hindu population in Kathiawar, a tension that would eventually produce one of the most contested accession disputes of 1947. Rasul Muhammad Khan ruled only from 1892 to 1911, a minor figure in the princely hierarchy, but his administration continued the state's long practice of issuing copper dokdo coinage for local commerce at a time when British India's imperial coinage was steadily displacing native issues across the subcontinent.
The KM#44.1 designation reflects a die variant within this type — Junagadh dokdos from this reign exist in more than one die configuration, a predictable consequence of small-scale local minting without strict mechanical standardization.
