| Additional information |
Dewas was unusual even by the fractured standards of Indian princely administration — the state was formally divided in 1728 between two brothers of the Puar dynasty, creating Senior and Junior branches that ruled simultaneously over interleaved territories, sharing the same town. KM#10 is attributed to the Senior Branch, issued under Narayan Rao, who ruled during a period of tightening British paramountcy over Malwa-region states.
The copper coinage of Dewas Senior is notoriously inconsistently struck, with significant variation in flan preparation across the series.
