Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Kori coin from the Princely state of Kutch is that it was minted during the reign of Bahadur Shah II, also known as Deshalji II, who was the ruler of the state from 1852 to 1857. The coin was minted in 1909-1914, nearly 50 years after Bahadur Shah II's reign. This suggests that the coin was likely minted as a commemorative issue or as part of a special collection, rather than for regular circulation.
