| Opmerkingen |
The Muli Darbar was the court administration of Muli State, a small princely state in the Kathiawar region of present-day Gujarat. During the Second World War, severe small-denomination coin shortages across British India prompted dozens of princely states to issue their own emergency cash coupons — Muli among them. These were not banknotes in any conventional sense but internal tokens, valid only within the state's own jurisdiction.
The anna denomination places this squarely in the fractional currency problem that plagued wartime India. Four annas was a sixteenth of a rupee — exactly the range where metal had effectively vanished from daily commerce.
