| Additional information |
Bharatpur's gold mohurs of this period occupy an unusual position among Indian princely issues: the state had been under British political supervision since the siege of 1826, when Lord Combermere's forces breached the fortress walls after a campaign lasting several weeks — a humiliation that ended Jat resistance and installed a British-approved ruler. The decision to strike coinage bearing Victoria's name was therefore less a voluntary gesture of loyalty than a formalization of subordination already decades old.
Fr#1050 is among the scarcer feudatory gold types, with surviving examples suggesting limited and possibly ceremonial production rather than wide mercantile use.
