and S of jalus. The attributions of most coins of Kaithal is rather tentative, except for the standard
issues assigned to Desu Singh (3 pellets reverse)
and most assigned to Lal Singh (4 pellets), partly because some pieces bear
Hijri or Vikram dates within their known reign
years. The assignments to Partap Singh and Udai Singh are tentative, and I have followed for these
rupees the suggestions of the consignor. The very crude examples assigned to Desu Singh have alternatively been assigned to Udai Singh, and it is quite likely that they were
emergency issues at some point. I have followed the consignor's assignment to
Desu Singh. The most important symbol for Kaithal is the 6-petal or 8-petal rosette (occasionally
7-petal) that appears within the letter N of "bichun"
on the obverse (except for the crude style issues), but the rosette is
frequently off flan. |
