| Beschrijving keerzijde | Five-line Devanagari inscription arranged in horizontal registers within the central field, enclosed by a circular border. The text contains the identifying legends of the Bajranggarh state, rendered in bold Nagari characters consistent with early nineteenth-century Rajputana hammered gold coinage. The inscription fills the octagonal flan, with the circular border providing a clear demarcation between the legend and the coin's edge. |

Bajranggarh was a minor Bundela Rajput state in what is now Madhya Pradesh, and its gold coinage is among the least documented of all central Indian princely issues. The octagonal format was not a whim — polygonal gold mohurs appear across several Rajput states as a deliberate departure from Mughal round-flan conventions, asserting local identity at a moment when Maratha pressure and early British paramountcy were simultaneously eroding princely autonomy. Jai Singh's reign coincided almost exactly with the period when the East India Company was consolidating subsidiary alliances across the region following Wellesley's campaigns.
The KM#13 variety designation signals meaningful die differences within this type, though the Bajranggarh series remains poorly studied in Western references. Fr#1032 cross-references confirm the gold standard.
