| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse field is filled with three horizontal registers of bold Urdu/Persian Nasta'liq script, referencing Empress Victoria in the regal Mughal tradition adopted by the Kishangarh state. The legends, struck in high relief characteristic of hammered Indian princely coinage, invoke the imperial title and suzerainty of Empress Victoria. The flan displays the typical irregular edge and textured surface associated with hand-struck rupees of Rajputana princely states. Pellet ornaments are visible between script registers, serving as decorative dividers in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kishangarh was among the smaller Rajput states in what is now Rajasthan, and its regal-style coinage acknowledging Victoria as Empress reflects the post-1858 political settlement that followed the dissolution of the East India Company. The commemorative framing of this issue — appearing at the very close of Victoria's reign, who died in January 1901 — gives it an inadvertent memorial quality that was almost certainly unintentional at the time of striking.
Madan Singh ruled Kishangarh from 1879 to 1900, making this one of the last issues of his reign rather than the first of his successor's.
