| Additional information |
Kishangarh was among the Rajput states that adapted quickly to the post-1858 political reorganization following the suppression of the Sepoy Mutiny. The "Regal Style" designation on this type reflects the formal acknowledgment of Victoria as sovereign — not merely a trading partner — a distinction that carried real ceremonial weight in Rajput court politics. Prithvi Singh ruled Kishangarh from 1840 to 1879, and coinage bearing both his name and Victoria's marks the transition from treaty-era ambiguity to explicit subordination within the new Crown Raj framework.
