The Gondal State issued a 2 Anna postal revenue stamp during the British India period. This stamp featured the coat of arms of Gondal State. Additionally, there’s another purple 2 Annas stamp from the Golden Jubilee Issue of Gondal State.
Gondal State was one of the eight first-class princely states in Kathiawar Agency, Bombay Presidency during British India. It was ruled by a Hindu Rajput dynasty of the Jadeja clan, with its capital in Gondal town. The state was established in 1634 AD by Thakore Shri Kumbhoji I Meramanji, who received Ardoi and other villages from his father. Over time, Gondal expanded by acquiring additional territories such as the parganas of Dhoraji, Upleta, Sarai, and Patanvav. The late ruler, Maharaja Bhojrajji Bhagwatsimhji, signed the instrument of accession to the Indian Union on 15 February 1948.
