Today's post is continuation of cash coupon series. It is about Vithalgadh or Vitthalgarh state issuing cash coupons during WWII.
Vithalgadh was a princely state (formerly Western India States Agency, Eastern Kathiawar, Jhalwar Prant) in British India. The state was of size 56 square miles consisting of only 5 villages. The princely state is now a normal city in modern Gujarat state of India.
The state was ruled by (Kayasth Prabhu) Shri Ramchandrarao Fanse (Vijay Singhji), born 1896, between 1920 to 1947 till India got independence. Thus, it carries the portrait of the ruler on both the cash coupons issued by the state.
Shown above is both the cash coupons issued by Vithalgadh state. The right one was issued with pale green color in 1 anna denomination. It has been given catalogue number of 36.1 by Indian Paper Money Catalogue of Kishore Jhunjhunwalla.
The left one was issued in navy blue color in 2 annas denomination. It has been given catalogue number of 36.2 by Indian Paper Money Catalogue of Kishore Jhunjhunwalla. Both of them carry numbers on back side and supposed to be issued around 1940-41 though it is difficult to ascertain the year.
