| Additional information |
Sadul Singh acceded to the gaddi of Bikaner in 1943 following the death of his father Ganga Singh, one of British India's most politically prominent princes and a signatory at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919. This coronation rupee was struck to mark that succession — a standard practice among the larger Rajput states that maintained their own minting prerogatives under the Crown.
Bikaner was one of the last princely states to issue silver rupees before Independence and Partition rendered such coinage politically obsolete. Sadul Singh himself acceded to the Indian Union in 1947, ending over four centuries of unbroken Rathore rule over the mint.
