| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field bears a two-line Devanagari legend reading 'Raja Dungarpur,' rendered in bold, raised characters within a plain inner circle. The inscription is surrounded by a toothed or granulated border running along the coin's periphery, characteristic of the local minting tradition of Dungarpur state. The lettering is deeply struck and occupies the majority of the flan, with no figurative effigy present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Dungarpur was among the smallest and most isolated of the Rajput princely states, tucked into the southern reaches of Rajputana with little economic weight behind it. That a gold mohur was struck here at all in 1940 — just seven years before the princely states were absorbed into independent India — reflects the persistence of ceremonial minting rights rather than any monetary necessity. By this period, British Indian coinage handled all practical commerce; locally struck gold was produced for durbar occasions, gifts, and the assertion of dynastic dignity.
Lakshman Singh ruled Dungarpur from 1918 to 1971, an unusually long tenure that bridged the colonial and post-colonial periods. KM#9 is a scarce type with no meaningful circulation history.
