The frozen regnal year designation is inscribed below, with the numeral '2' visible in the lower field referencing the frozen accession year employed on this series. Dot or pellet ornaments punctuate the field around the inscription. The script is rendered in a bold naskh-influenced hand consistent with Mughal-tradition coinage of the Gwalior princely state. |

| Additional information |
Jayaji Rao Scindia acceded to the Gwalior throne in 1843 at roughly eight years old, following the death of his adoptive father Jankoji Rao. The East India Company used the succession dispute — and a subsequent conflict known as the First Anglo-Gwalior War — to impose the Treaty of Gwalior later that same year, stripping the state of significant territory and military autonomy. This mohur belongs to the earliest coins issued under his name, before British political pressure had fully reshaped the Scindia administration's administrative independence.
