Nazarana coins were not struck for commerce. They were presentation pieces — heavier, more carefully produced than standard issues — distributed by rulers during durbars, festivals, and ceremonial occasions as tokens of favor. This example was struck under the joint authority framework imposed by the British Crown following the 1858 transfer of power from the East India Company, which required Indian princely states to acknowledge Queen Victoria on their coinage while retaining the reigning ruler's name alongside hers.
Madho Singh II ascended the Jaipur throne in 1880 and maintained a notably formal relationship with the British Raj throughout his reign.
