1 Rupee - Victoria [Takhat Singh]

Jodhpur's silver rupees of this period occupied an awkward position: the princely state was technically sovereign in its coinage rights but increasingly subject to British pressure to abandon indigenous issues in favor of colonial currency. The Rathore rulers resisted longer than most Rajput states. Takhat Singh, who reigned from 1843 until his death in 1873, had already navigated the annexation threats of Dalhousie's doctrine of lapse and emerged with his gaddi intact, and this coin was struck under his authority during the final years of his reign.

KM#67 is distinguished from earlier Jodhpur rupees by the introduction of Victoria's name into the design — a concession to British suzerainty, though the coin remained a purely local issue in circulation and weight standard.
