| Beschrijving keerzijde | Hammered gold flan with a multi-line Persian legend in Nastaliq script, arranged across the field in two registers separated by a horizontal stroke in the Mughal style. The legend records the name and titles of Maharaja Dhiraj Sawai Man Singh II Bahadur of Jaipur, together with the mint name Sawai Jaipur and the regnal year of issue. The bold, deeply impressed lettering is consistent with the hand-struck technique employed at the Sawai Jaipur Mint, and the flan shows the characteristic irregular outline of hammered coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Man Singh II became ruler of Jaipur in 1922 at age eleven, following the death of Madho Singh II. These mohurs, struck under his name alongside that of George V, reflect the standard treaty obligation requiring Indian princely states to acknowledge imperial suzerainty on their coinage — a condition enforced with increasing rigidity by the Political Department through the 1920s. The Sawai Jaipur mint was one of the last active princely mints in Rajputana still producing gold at this date.
Struck across a five-year window, the issue is not abundant in any grade. Man Singh II would go on to become the last ruling Maharaja of Jaipur before accession to India in 1949.
