Additional information

Jaipur retained the right to strike its own copper coinage well into the late colonial period, a privilege increasingly rare among princely states by the 1930s. Man Singh II, who acceded to the gaddi in 1922 at age eleven under a regency, was one of the few rulers whose coins bore both his own name and the reigning British monarch's — an unusual dual acknowledgment that reflected Jaipur's negotiated status rather than simple subordination.

The series ended with Indian independence and the state's accession to the Union in 1949.
