Comment
Raja Sumer Singh reigned from 1911 to 1918. This Mohur is issued under the name of Edward VII, though he was dead by this issuance. These coins were probably issued in 1911 and the King would lead the Jodhpur Imperial Service Lancers in World War I from 1916 to 1918 in France and Flanders. He would die in 1918, aged 20, following a bout of pneumonia and was succeeded by his brother, Umaid Singh. Weight varies slightly.
Interesting fact
The 1 Mohur coin from the Princely state of Jodhpur, issued during the reign of Edward VII (1911-1918), is made of gold and weighs 11.02 grams. This coin is interesting because it is a rare example of a gold coin issued by a princely state in India during the British colonial period. The use of gold in the coin's minting adds to its value and rarity, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
