| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field dominated by the Sikh Khanda symbol rendered in fine granular relief within an oval cartouche, flanked by Persian-script legends arranged in horizontal registers across the field. A crescent and star device appears in the upper register, consistent with Sikh Empire coinage conventions. The overall design follows the traditional Indo-Persian numismatic style inherited from Mughal prototypes, with bold raised lettering and decorative dot ornaments framing the inscriptions. The flan shows slight irregularity typical of hand-struck production at the Amritsar mint during the reign of Maharaja Duleep Singh. |

Duleep Singh was ten years old when these rupees were struck in his name — placed on the Sikh throne in September 1843 after the assassination of his half-brother Sher Singh, with his mother Rani Jindan acting as regent. The coins bearing his name were minted during the First Anglo-Sikh War, which ended in March 1846 with the Treaty of Lahore stripping the Punjab of territory, its army, and its treasury. Duleep himself was deposed entirely by 1849, eventually exiled to England and baptized Christian — the last sovereign of the Khalsa.
