| Aanvullende informatie |
Faridkot was a small Sikh princely state in the Punjab, and Harindar Singh Brar ruled it from 1906 until Indian independence in 1947. Medallic issues of this kind — heavy silver pieces produced in limited quantities — were typically struck for ceremonial or courtly presentation rather than everyday exchange. At nearly 58 grams and 51mm across, this piece would have circulated nowhere.
The 1941 date places production during the height of wartime silver restrictions across British India, making the authorization of a large-format silver striking by a minor state an administrative curiosity worth noting.
