Jayaji Rao Scindia ruled Gwalior under tight British paramountcy — the Resident's influence over internal policy was substantial, but the state retained the right to strike its own coinage, a privilege jealously maintained by most major Princely States throughout the nineteenth century. Gwalior's copper issues of this period circulated primarily in local bazaar transactions, largely ignored by the colonial monetary apparatus that was busy standardizing silver across British India.
The KM#143.2 designation distinguishes this variety from the closely related .1 type by die differences in the regnal notation.
