Faridkot was a small Phulkia dynasty state in the Punjab, and its medallic issues of the 1930s occupied a peculiar administrative grey zone — struck in gold to traditional Mughal fractional weights but issued without the formal sanction of a circulating coinage right, which the British Political Department had by then effectively curtailed for most minor states. Harindar Singh Brar acceded in 1919 as a minor and assumed full ruling powers in the late 1920s, making the early 1930s his first window for independent patronage of this kind.
The ⅔ Mohur weight of roughly 8 grams derives from the old Mughal tola-based system, where a full Mohur ran to approximately 11.6 grams.
