Additional information

Dholpur's copper coinage of this period was struck under the authority of the Rana of Dholpur while the state navigated the collapsing Maratha confederacy and competing pressures from the Jat and Rajput powers surrounding it. The Gwalior fort reference in the issue name reflects the broader political geography of the region — Gwalior's fortified mint complex served as a production and authority anchor for several neighboring states during the late eighteenth century, lending a kind of borrowed legitimacy to issues struck in its name or orbit.
