The regnal years do not refer to the ruler or to Queen Victoria, but to the transfer from the coins citing Bahadur II to Victoria in VS1915 (1858/59), which became the frozen Vikrama date on all subsequent Jhalawar coinage. Year 3 (1860/61) falls within the reign of Prithvi Singh (1845-1875). This special type was probably produced solely for attachment or suspension, Provenance ex. Eck Prud'homme Collection, ex SARC Auction 9 lot 950 ($950) and SARC Auction 31 lot 2539 ($1200)
