Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
The question asks to identify the incorrectly matched currency and issuer pair. Historical numismatic records indicate that Akhaishahi, Bhadshahi, and Gaigashahi are correctly associated with Jaisalmer, Jaipur, and Jodhpur respectively. However, Vijayashahi coins were primarily issued by the Mewar rulers in Udaipur, not Bikaner. Consequently, Vijayashahi – Bikaner is the mismatched pair as required by the question prompt.
