| Additional information |
Khairpur was among the smaller Talpur-ruled states of Sind, a region the British East India Company absorbed following the controversial Battle of Miani in 1843 — a conquest General Charles Napier allegedly summarized in a one-word Latin pun, "Peccavi" ("I have sinned"), though historians now attribute that quip to a satirical piece in Punch. These rupees predate annexation by only a few years and circulated in a polity already under mounting British commercial and political pressure.
KM#20 is frequently encountered with weak central strikes, a product of hand-operated presses and inconsistent die alignment common to provincial Talpur minting.
