Bikaner State operated its own treasury and issued indigenous financial instruments well into the British paramountcy period, when formal banking infrastructure in the princely states remained thin. A hundi of this denomination — 1 Rupee 8 Annas — sits at the lower end of the denomination range, suggesting it circulated among merchants and traders rather than for large commercial transactions.
The hundi as a financial instrument predates European-style banknotes in the subcontinent by centuries, functioning as a negotiable bill of exchange enforceable by custom and mercantile trust rather than statutory banking law. Bikaner's state-issued hundis represent the formal absorption of that indigenous credit tradition into princely fiscal administration.
