Fractional coins of Jalaun are exceedingly rare. Jalaun became a British protectorate in 1806 after the fall of the Marathas in Northern India. The rulers of Jalaun were descendants of Govind Balaji Kher, a.k.a. Govind Pant Bundeley, a prominent Maratha statesman under Peshwas Baji Rao I and Balaji Rao. The state lapsed to the British in 1840 following the death of Govind Rao II (1831-1840) who died without an heir.
