The Jodhpur takka issues of this period were struck under the authority of Maharaja Bhim Singh, with Sumar Singh named as the nominal mint master — a common administrative convention in Rajput states where the ruling house maintained tight control over copper coinage while silver remained more closely tied to Mughal-derived weight standards. The "George V" attribution here refers not to the British monarch but to a regnal identifier used in the KM cataloguing system for this sub-type, a source of persistent confusion among collectors new to Rajputana issues.
