Rewa's copper coinage under Jai Singh Deo circulated during a period when the state was navigating its relationship with the expanding British East India Company presence in Bundelkhand. The 1812 subsidiary alliance brought many neighboring states under tighter British financial oversight, yet Rewa retained the right to strike its own copper for local use — a concession the Company granted pragmatically, as indigenous small-denomination coinage remained essential to village markets the British had no infrastructure to serve.
KM#14 is frequently found with irregular flan edges, a consequence of hand-cut blanks rather than mechanically rolled strip.
