| Beschrijving keerzijde | Hammered gold field bearing a multi-line calligraphic inscription in Persian script arranged across the flan, citing the name and regnal titles of Maharaja Ram Singh II, ruler of Jaipur, along with mint and date information in the Mughal coinage tradition. The bold, flowing characters dominate the field in characteristic Indian hammered-gold style, with no subsidiary devices or borders. The irregular planchet displays the typical uneven surface relief associated with hand-struck issues of this princely state. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Jaipur's gold mohurs of this period occupy an unusual position in Indian numismatic history: they were struck under a feudatory arrangement that gave Ram Singh II considerable autonomy, yet the coins acknowledge British paramountcy through Victoria's name appearing alongside his own. This dual-authority coinage was not universal among Rajput states — many resisted any such acknowledgment — making Jaipur's compliance a deliberate political calculation by a ruler who had actively supported the British during the 1857 uprising.
Ram Singh II's loyalty during that crisis earned Jaipur significant rewards, including expanded territories. The mohur series running through his reign reflects a state at the height of its influence within the Raj framework.
