In 1936 Bahawalpur stopped paying tribute and openly declared independence. In the Anglo Sikh wars Bahawalpur supported the British and this guaranteed its survival. During the 1960's the Nawab agreed for Bahawalpur to be absorbed into modern Pakistan. He was however given special privileges including the right to import several cars duty free each year. Many of the palaces are now occupied by the military and the rulers of Dubai also own a large palace in Bahawalpur." These days Bawawalpur is definately not in the coin business. These coins, done in a British style, were minted in 1940. They bear the image of the then Nawab Sadiq Mohammed V Abasi Al Haj, which parses as follows: Nawab was his title.
