Jubbal was among the smallest of the Simla Hill States — a cluster of minor princely territories in what is now Himachal Pradesh — and its gold coinage is correspondingly rare. Bhagat Chand ruled from 1919 until Indian independence forced the integration of such states into the Union, and this 1941 mohur was struck just years before that authority evaporated entirely. The Simla Hill States collectively issued coins in quantities so small that many issues were effectively commemorative from inception, minted more to assert sovereign prerogative than to meet any genuine commercial demand.
