The Great Revolt (First War of Independence) that began with the rebellion of the sepoys in 1857 and spread to large parts of Northern India, showed signs of being suppressed by the end of 1858. During the Revolt, Bharatpur faithfully rendered good service to the British Government, a large body of troops of all arms went on field under Captain Nixon and a strong body of Bharatpur troops under Bakhshi Ganga Ram fought with Captain Nixon against Tantia Topi (Tatya Tope) at Deosa in Jaipur. Jaswant Singh of Bharatpur was only a minor and the state was ruled by a council of regency. Reassured by British victories, and knowing the Mughal Empire was well and truly consigned to history with the arrest of Bahadur Shah, the regency council ordered coins with the effigy of Queen Victoria to be struck from two mints in the state, namely Bharatpur (Brajendrapur) and Deeg. These are the earliest instance of the Queen appearing on princely coins. The image is directly copied from one that appeared on postage stamps issued four years earlier. Gold issues of this series are exceedingly rare.
