| Beschrijving voorzijde | Hammered silver flan bearing multiple horizontal bands of Persian/Nastaliq script filling the entire obverse field, characteristic of Mughal-derived coinage of the Sikh Princely States. The legends are arranged in curved lines across the coin surface, with pellet ornaments visible in the field between inscriptions. The style follows the traditional Mughal rupee format adapted for Patiala State under Karam Singh. The script is boldly struck, though slightly irregular in form owing to the hand-hammered technique. No figurative imagery is present; the design is entirely epigraphic. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Karam Singh ruled Patiala from 1813 to 1845, a period during which the Sikh Confederacy was under mounting pressure from British expansion following the Anglo-Sikh entanglements that would culminate in the First Anglo-Sikh War the year after his death. Patiala had taken the pragmatic step of siding with the British during earlier Maratha conflicts, a alignment that bought the state relative autonomy and allowed it to maintain its own coinage well into the mid-nineteenth century.
The C#30.3 variety distinguishes this issue within the broader Karam Singh series.
