| Additional information |
Nazarana coins were presentation pieces, never intended for commerce — struck to be gifted by a ruler on occasions of dynastic significance. This mohur marks the marriage of Maharajkumar Veerendra Singh, son of Maharaja Rajendra Singh, who ruled Jhalawar through the increasingly fraught final decade of British paramountcy. By 1940, the Political Department in Delhi was tightening its grip on princely expenditure and succession matters; that Rajendra Singh still commissioned a gold nazarana in the old ceremonial tradition was itself a statement of continued dynastic dignity.
Jhalawar was among the smaller Rajputana states, carved out of Kota only in 1838.
