| Additional information |
Jodhpur's silver rupees of this period occupy an unusual position: struck under British suzerainty yet bearing the name of the reigning Maharaja alongside the imperial authority, a dual acknowledgment that the Princely States were neither fully sovereign nor simply colonial territories. Jaswant Singh II, who ruled Jodhpur from 1873 until his death in 1895, maintained a mint at a time when the Crown was actively consolidating Indian coinage — most princely mints were shuttered within a generation of these strikes.
The Y#9.2 designation distinguishes this from closely related issues in the series by die variation in the Nagari inscription.
