Takka Anonymous

The Takka coin from the Princely state of Jodhpur, made of copper and weighing 16.6g, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great change and political upheaval in India. The coin was minted in 1788, just a few years before the arrival of the British East India Company, which would eventually lead to the colonization of India and the end of the princely states' independence. Despite this tumultuous period, the Takka coin remains a symbol of the rich cultural heritage and economic prosperity of the region during that time.
