The royal line of Karauli was ruled by the Jadon Rajput clan and claimed to be the descendants of Hindu god Krishna.Bhanwar Pal ruled the Karauli State from 1886 to 1927 AD. During the reign, he issued gold, silver, and copper coins from Karauli mint. These coins were issued in the denomination of Mohur, Rupee, Paisa, and Takka.
