| Additional information |
Radhanpur was a small Muslim-ruled princely state in what is now Gujarat, under the Nawabs of the Babi dynasty. Its coinage is rarely encountered in any grade, a product of both the state's modest population and the brief window during which it struck silver — British paramountcy steadily absorbed local minting rights across Kathiawar and Cutch throughout the 1860s and 1870s. KM#10 falls within that closing phase.
The five-year emission window ending in 1872 likely corresponds with formal pressure from Bombay Presidency administrators discouraging parallel currency systems in subsidiary states.
