Believed to be the only known example.
A strong example that will doubtlessly capture much attention from the numerous collectors.
The practice of issuing special presentation coins, usually referred to by coin collectors as 'Nazarana', dates back to Mughal court rituals. For many princely states, these issues represented status, sovereignty and legitimacy. Jaipur took the tradition to another level. Gold Nazarana coins, by their very nature, are extremely rare. They were in all likelihood used by the high elites of the state.
