| Beschrijving voorzijde | Hammered silver field bearing the royal Persian-script inscription referencing George VI as sovereign overlord, rendered in the traditional Mughal-derived calligraphic style characteristic of Kishangarh princely coinage. The legends are arranged in multiple lines across the flan, with dotted border ornaments visible along the periphery. The irregular flan and hand-struck relief are typical of late Indian princely hammered issues. No portrait effigy is present; imperial authority is conveyed entirely through the calligraphic text in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kishangarh's nazarana rupees were not currency in any practical sense — they were presentation pieces, struck on polished flans with extra care and handed to officials, nobles, or petitioners at durbars as tokens of royal favor. The regal-style obverse acknowledges British suzerainty while the native administration retained enough autonomy to issue coin in its own name, a carefully negotiated fiction that persisted across dozens of princely states until 1947. Yagya Narayan Singh ruled Kishangarh from 1926 to 1939, making this issue attributable to the final years of his reign.
