1 Rupee - Duleep Singh Amritsar mint

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.
