Rajkot was a small princely state in Kathiawar, Gujarat, governed by the Jadeja Rajput dynasty. Like many Kathiawar states, it issued low-denomination fractional currency — annas rather than rupees — to address a chronic shortage of small change that British India's Reserve Bank had little incentive to solve for minor principalities. The 1 Anna denomination is about as low as princely state paper currency gets, and Rajkot examples are among the scarcer Kathiawar issues.
The wartime date range reflects tightened coin metal supplies after 1940, which pushed several small states toward emergency paper fractions.
