| Additional information |
Bharatpur's Jat rulers occupied an unusual position among 18th-century Indian princely states — nominally Mughal tributaries, in practice militarily independent after Suraj Mal's campaigns of the 1750s and 60s. This rupee was struck under Ratan Singh, who succeeded following the violent internal succession struggle after Suraj Mal's death in 1763. The Mahe Indrapur mint served Bharatpur's coinage needs through this turbulent consolidation period, issuing rupees that retained Mughal weight standards even as the political fiction of Mughal suzerainty grew increasingly hollow.
