Dhrangadhra State, Rai Singh Jhala, (the ruler of Halwad), In the name of Akbar, Murid Rai Singh, Silver Kori, 4.65 gms, Obv. Kalima Shahada. Rev. Jalal-al-din Muhammad Akbar Badshah Ghazi & Nagari legends “murid Rai Singh below seen partially, Unlisted, Uncirculated with underlying lustre, Sharply struck, extremely rare. Note: It was previously believed that Rao Raydhanji II of Kutch issued a specific coin on which he declared himself a 'Murid' (disciple) of a Sufi saint. This theory is implausible because the coin is struck in the name of the Mughal Emperor Akbar, and nearly 200 years separated Raydhanji from Akbar. It is more likely that the "Rai Singh" who struck these coins is Raisingh Jhala, the ruler of Halwad (Dhrangadhra). In 1566, during the third year of his reign, Raisingh was reportedly fatally wounded at the Battle of Malia, and his infant son, Chandrasingh, was proclaimed king. However, Raisingh appears to have survived the battle, as he is known to have had an audience with Akbar approximately 20 years later at Fatehpur Sikri. After securing Akbar's confidence, Raisingh returned to Halwad and, between January and March 1585, regained the throne from Chandrasingh with the help of Abdur Rahim Khan, the governor of Gujarat. The time he spent at Akbar's court had a long-term impact on his subsequent reign. When Muzaffar III rebelled, the local rulers of Kathiawad formed alliances with the warring parties. Jam Satrasal (Sataji) of Nawanagar allied with Amin Khan Ghori, the de facto ruler of Junagadh during the revolt, and both were believed to be supporters of Muzaffar III. In contrast, Raisingh Jhala accepted Mughal sovereignty and took the side of the Mughals. Raisingh Jhala's subservience is emphasized on these coins by the word "murid," which translates to "a servant" or "disciple."
