This issue was said to be of Rao Raydhanji II who apparently declared himself to be a 'Murid' (disciple) of a Sufi saint. However, the fact that it is struck in the name of Akbar makes this implausible with nearly 200 years separating Raydhanji and Akbar. 'Rai Singh', who struck these coins was in all likelihood Raisingh Jhala, the ruler of Halwad (Dhrangadhra). During the 3rd year of his reign Raisingh was fatally injured in battle of Malia in 1566 was presumed dead and his infant son Chandrasingh was procalimed king. However Raisingh apparently survived the battle because about 20 years later, he is known to have an audience with Akbar at Fatehpur Sikri. Having secured Akbar's confidence, Raisingh returned Halvad between January and March 1585 and reclaimed the throne from his son Chandrasingh with the help of Abdur Rahim Khan the govorner of Gujarat. His stay in Akbar's court was to have a long standing infuence in his subsequent reign. During the rebellion of Muzaffar III, the local rulers of Kathiawad formed alliances with the warring parties - Jam Satrasal (Sataji) of Nawanagar allied himself with Amin Khan Ghori the de facto ruler of Junagadh. They were partisans of Muzaffar III. Raisingh Jhala took side with the Mughals and accepted the sovereignty of Akbar. As "Murid" literally means "a servant", the subservience of Raisingh Jhala is underscored on these coins.
