Hello,
I am making this request in the hopes that the Princely State of Kapurthala will be added to the catalog. Kapurthala State was a Sikh Kingdom and then later princely state in British India’s Punjab Province, covering about 510 square miles with a population of over 314,000 in 1901. Governed by the Ahluwalia dynasty, it became part of the Punjab States Agency in 1930 and joined the Indian Union in 194 renowned for its communal harmony with Maharaja Jagatjit Singh even building a Moorish Mosque for Muslim subjects and opposed the partition of India, advocating a united, secular nation. Kapurthala was often called the “Paris of the East” because of its rulers’ admiration for French culture. They may have issued coins (unclear to me at the present moment) but they did in fact issue a number of Medals and other Exonumia which can be added on to this site.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kapurthala_State - Wikipedia page, which also has the Map, coat of arms and flag of the state. This link also has the rulers of the State, which I hope can be added (they seem to check out as accurate).
Emperors/Empresses should be as for the rest of the Princely States in regards to British Rulers, but before 1846 it may be more appropriate to put the Sikh Empire's Ranjit Singh. The State only came into existence in 1774.
I will add some below:
