Historical Context: This 1 Rupee coin, issued by the Mewar-Shahpur Feudatory between 1879 and 1881, dates to the reign of Sri Nahar Singh. As a Thikana under Mewar, Shahpur maintained autonomy in its internal administration, including the right to strike coinage for local circulation. Nahar Singh's rule occurred during the increasing influence of the British Raj, yet local coinage traditions endured, reflecting regional economic needs and political identity within the broader imperial framework.
Artistry: The design of this silver Rupee typically features epigraphic elements, primarily in Devanagari script, identifying ruler Sri Nahar Singh and the minting authority, alongside the date. While a specific engraver is unrecorded, the stylistic execution aligns with indigenous Rajput minting traditions. The design, often simpler than imperial issues, offers insight into local numismatic aesthetics, prioritizing legibility of inscription over elaborate iconography, a common characteristic for princely state coinage of this period.
Technical/Grading: Struck in silver, weighing 10.85 grams and measuring 19.5 millimeters, this Rupee exhibits technical characteristics typical of local mint productions. High-points for wear assessment include the uppermost portions of the Devanagari characters and any small symbols. Strike quality varies considerably, often displaying minor off-center strikes, uneven metal flow, and planchet irregularities due to less sophisticated minting technology compared to larger imperial Mints. The specific weight and smaller diameter reflect a distinct local standard.
