Comment
Struck at the Sawai Jaipur Mint, this is a late struck mohur when most other states had stopped the production of independent gold coinage. Under George VI as Emperor, similar to an earlier issue in the 1920s. Weight varies between 10.7grams and 11.4 grams.
Interesting fact
The 1 Mohur coin from the Princely state of Jaipur, issued during the reign of Man Singh II (1941-1949), is made of gold and weighs 10.7 grams. This makes it a unique and valuable coin among collectors, as it is not common for circulation coins to be made of gold, and the weight of 10.7 grams is substantial for a coin of its size. Additionally, the fact that it was issued during a specific time period and from a particular princely state adds to its historical significance and rarity, making it a highly sought-after collector's item.
