| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays a Nagari character 'जी' (Ji), representing the initial of the ruler Jiyaji Rao, positioned prominently in the field as a distinguishing princely mark. The regnal year is rendered in Persian numerals, with the mint marks of a bow, arrow, and trishul (trident) characteristic of Gwalior state coinage. The legends are distributed across the divided field in the customary Mughal rupee format, combining Persian numerals with Nagari script to assert both Mughal tradition and Gwalior's local authority. |

Jayaji Rao Scindia ruled Gwalior for over four decades, but his relationship with British India was permanently shaped by 1857. Unlike several neighboring states, he personally opposed joining the rebellion — his troops mutinied anyway, and the subsequent British reconquest of Gwalior in June 1858 included some of the final fighting of the entire uprising, ending with the death of Rani Lakshmibai on the battlefield. His loyalty was rewarded with territorial additions and continued minting rights, which is precisely why this rupee exists at all.
Gwalior retained its own coinage authority well into the late nineteenth century, one of the few princely states permitted to do so under the post-1858 settlement.
