Jan Lingen: "The coins of Jaipur were very popular in Rajasthan and some Princely States imitated the Jaipur currency. Kishangarh copied the Jaipur copper coinage. ... On the coins of Kishangarh the 'b' of badshah is engraved like a x with a dot below and above. On (the coins of Jaipur) the 'b' and 'd' of badshah is correct and nicely engraved. "
Amit ("asm"): Kishangarh Takkas were a copy of the Jaipur ones. So I would say that the finer ones are Jaipur, the cruder ones with a biiiiiig leaf / Jhar are Kishangarh.
"aan09" : Sure it is from kishangargh.
The basic difference between jaipur and kishangargh is as follows:
1.kishangarh: 6 leafs or ( jhar -in devnagri).
2.jaipur: 4 leafs or jhar .
