Palitana was a princely state in the Kathiawar region of what is now Gujarat, and like dozens of other small Indian states during the Second World War, it resorted to issuing emergency fractional coupons when coin shortages became acute. The wartime demand for metals stripped small-denomination coinage from circulation across the subcontinent, forcing local authorities — some with very limited administrative infrastructure — to paper over the gap.
Pressboard rather than proper banknote paper points to genuinely improvised production. These were not printed by a security press.
