Description
Bikaner State, Sadul Singh(c. 1943-1949CE), Gold Presentation Mohur, 8.70grms, VS1999/AD1942, Obv. Devanagari Script श्री महा राजा धीराज राज राजेश्वर नरेन्द्रे शिरोमणि महाराज श्री सादुल सीह जी बहादुर ( Sri / Maha Raja Dhiraj / Raj Rajeshwar Narendra / Shiromani Maharaj / Sri Sadul Singh Ji / Brave), Rev. Devanagari Script राजाश्री बीकानेर सं·१९९९ (Raja Shri Bikaner 1999) with Seven Auspicious Symbols Signifying Royal Authority such as trishul, parasol, flag, temple top and Sword, Mint State and Exceedingly Rare. Sadul Singh ascended the throne of Bikaner during the closing phase of British paramountcy and the turbulent years surrounding Indian independence. Educated and politically aware, he played a measured and diplomatic role in navigating his state through constitutional transition, ultimately acceding to the Indian Union while safeguarding Bikaner’s dignity and legacy. His reign, though brief, represents the final chapter of sovereign Rajput authority in the region, making issues struck in his name historically poignant as symbols of both continuity and closure. Only four examples of this prestigious gold issue have appeared in the marketplace to date. Of those, two bore signs of prior mounting, and the most recent public offering occurred nearly a decade ago. The present piece stands apart in preservation and visual integrity, representing the finest quality among all recorded specimens. Its superior state elevates it beyond mere rarity into the realm of true condition census significance. Opportunities to acquire a specimen of this calibre are exceptionally infrequent, positioning this offering as a landmark chance for the discerning collector to secure the definitive example of this remarkable late-princely gold issue.
