Amar Singh ruled Patiala during a period of acute regional instability — the Maratha incursions into Punjab through the 1760s and the continued fragmentation of Mughal authority left Sikh chiefs operating with considerable de facto independence. Issuing gold coinage was a direct assertion of that autonomy. The KM#11 reference to Kaithal reflects a longstanding cataloging ambiguity in this series, as several Phulkian dynasty chiefs struck mohurs on near-identical weight standards, making attribution between Patiala and Kaithal issues genuinely contested among specialists.
