| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse presents a densely inscribed field rendered entirely in flowing Nastaliq calligraphy, arranged in multiple registers across the coin's face. The central field bears the mint name 'Sawa'i Jaipur' together with the regnal year in AH numerals, with the date 1888 prominently displayed. A three-line legend references the suzerainty of Queen Victoria, Empress of India ('Malika Muazzama Saltanat Inglistan Victoria'). The entire design is enclosed within a continuous wreath border of stylized foliate motifs, characteristic of Jaipur princely state gold coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Jaipur's gold mohurs of this period were struck under a reciprocal arrangement between the princely state and the British Raj that permitted local coinage to continue provided it acknowledged imperial suzerainty — hence the paired authority of Victoria and Maharaja Madho Singh II, who ruled from 1880 to 1922. Madho Singh was notably conservative in his dealings with the British and famously refused to attend Edward VII's 1902 coronation without bringing Ganges water for daily ritual use, transporting it in two enormous silver urns now held by the City Palace museum.
The 36mm diameter is unusually broad for a 10.93g gold piece, producing a thin, spread flan that made these particularly susceptible to edge bruising in circulation.
