备注	Sayala was a minor princely state in Kathiawar (present-day Gujarat) covering barely 50 square miles, with a population in the low thousands. During the Second World War, small-denomination metal coinage across British India became acutely scarce — copper and brass were redirected toward the war effort — and numerous Kathiawar states responded by issuing emergency paper cash coupons to fill the fractional currency vacuum left by vanishing paise and anna coins. The 'D' type designation distinguishes this from at least three other Sayala coupon variants in the series, suggesting successive printings or format revisions across the war years. At 52 × 30 mm, this is among the smallest paper instruments catalogued in the Indian princely states section.
