- “These coins ... have the appearance of local tokens rather than an official state issue, but appear to be more plentiful than the ... (Chandi coins). They were conceivably struck at the Kishangarh mint from bullion tendered by private persons and used solely as a local currency.” ~ K.W.Wiggins

Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 2 Annas - Anonymous (Second Series) ND (1902-1938) from Princely state of Kishangarh (Indian princely states) made of Silver weighing 1.32 g is that it features a unique blend of traditional Indian and Western design elements. The coin's obverse features a portrait of a prince, likely the ruler of Kishangarh, while the reverse features a depiction of a horse and a palm tree, symbols of strength and prosperity in Indian culture. The coin's silver content and relatively low weight also make it a valuable and collectible item among numismatists.
