Additional information

Jodhpur's copper coinage of this period was struck under Maharaja Jaswant Singh II, who navigated a careful relationship with the British Raj while maintaining the right to issue regnant coinage — one of the residual privileges jealously retained by larger Rajput states under subsidiary alliance. The takka denomination itself was a practical unit tied to local bazaar commerce, largely untouched by the imperial rupee system that dominated long-distance trade.

KM#72 is known with significant die variation across its eight-year production run, a predictable consequence of hand-cut dies produced at the Jodhpur state mint with no requirement for standardization.
