| Additional information |
Dhar was among the smallest gold-issuing princely states in Central India, and this mohur is something of an anomaly — struck in 1943, deep into a world war that had effectively frozen most ceremonial coinage production across the subcontinent. The Piran mint attribution is unusual; most Dhar issues are associated with the state's own facilities, and the reference to a separate mint locality here raises questions about capacity or occasion that the catalog record alone cannot resolve.
The Fr#1107 Friedberg reference places it firmly in the rarest tier of Indian princely gold.
