Comments

- Ruler:HH Thakore Saheb Shri DHARMENDRASINHJI LAKHAJIRAJSINHJI, 13th Thakore Saheb of Rajkot (4th March 1910 - 11th June 1940), Jadeja dynasty
- 54 coins were originally minted, early restrikes issued in 1954, difficult to differentiate from original issue.
Later on collector coins issued as restrikes with a different die. The collector issues have a perfect circle on the middle prong of the tridents and well formed circle of beads around the rim.

See the image below for comparison between original and restrike mohurs,
