| Additional information |
Veer Durgadas Rathore was the Marwar chieftain who spent 26 years in exile and guerrilla resistance after Aurangzeb annexed the kingdom of Jodhpur in 1679, ultimately securing the restoration of Marwar's independence under Ajit Singh in 1707. This commemorative was issued to mark the 300th anniversary of that restoration — a campaign the Mughal court never fully managed to extinguish despite repeated military pressure.
