1 Pice - George V [Muhammad Sa'adat Ali Khan]

Tonk was the only princely state in Rajputana with a majority Muslim population and a Nawab whose authority derived from Pathan ancestry — the Khan family traced lineage to Afghan chiefs who had served the Marathas before carving out their own territory. By 1932, the state's coinage was a formality; British paramountcy had long since rendered local currency ceremonially redundant in most transactions. KM#29 represents one of the final issues before the standardization pressures of the late colonial period effectively ended meaningful princely minting.
