By this time, the Princely States were fully integrated into the British administrative framework. Unlike earlier Jodhpur Mohurs which cited the Mughal Emperor, these coins explicitly feature the name of the British monarch, as mandated by treaties and custom, acknowledging the British Crown as the paramount power. This coin belongs to the final generation of independent Princely State coinage before India's independence in 1947 and the subsequent integration of the states into the Indian Union.
