| Additional information |
Baroda's copper coinage under Sayaji Rao II circulated across a state that the East India Company had effectively brought under tributary control through the Treaty of 1802, yet the Gaekwad rulers retained the right to strike their own currency — a privilege jealously guarded and sporadically exercised across multiple local mints. The Amreli mint served the southern Kathiawar territories under Baroda's jurisdiction, making its output geographically and administratively distinct from the main Baroda city issues.
C#29.4 distinguishes the Amreli attribution from otherwise similar Gaekwad copper, primarily through die characteristics rather than explicit mint marks.
