BAMRA STATE ONE PICE CASH COUPON.

During World War II British Government faced severe crunch of metallic supplies. The worst effect was supply of coins especially in small change. The situation became worse; so many princely states of India, some of them tiny and insignificant issued Cash Coupons to manage the emergency and serious crunch in small denomination coin. Bamra State a tiny “A” class Feudatory state renown as stamp issuing state around the world from 1888 to 1894 was the only state of the Eastern States Agency to issue a Cash Coupon during 1944 which was valid till 1945. The Cash Coupon is having a Facsimile signature of the last ruler Raja Bhanuganga Tribhuban Dev to authenticate the genuinity of the Cash Coupon.
