| Additional information |
Nawanagar's coinage under Vibhaji (r. 1852–1895) occupied an awkward administrative position — the state maintained its own mint and copper issues while British Indian currency circulated alongside them, a dual system the colonial government tolerated in smaller princely states well into the late nineteenth century. The dokda was a regional denomination with no equivalent in the British Indian system, which made conversion a persistent local headache.
KM#18 is among the later strikes of Vibhaji's reign, produced roughly a decade before his death.
