| Additional information |
The Gond kingdoms of central India occupied an awkward numismatic position — nominally independent but increasingly subject to Maratha and later British pressure, their coinages were local and functional, produced for markets where Mughal and Maratha currency already circulated. Devgarh, situated in what is now eastern Maharashtra, was among the last Gond polities to maintain its own issues before absorption ended the need entirely.
KM#5 is a crude copper striking, as expected from a small court mint operating without the infrastructure of imperial production.
