| Aanvullende informatie |
Gwalior under Jayaji Rao Scindia operated its mint with considerable autonomy during a period when the East India Company was steadily absorbing the fiscal machinery of surrounding states. The "Ajit Singh" designation refers not to a ruler but to the mint master — a naming convention specific to Gwalior issues of this period, where the mintmaster's name functioned as a guarantee mark on the coinage.
Production spanned the years immediately before and after the 1857 uprising, which hit Gwalior directly: the city fell to rebel forces before British and Maratha loyalist troops retook it in June 1858.
