Interesting fact

The ½ Kori coin from the Princely state of Kutch (Indian princely states) made of Silver (.601) weighing 2.7 g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the reign of Khengarji III in 1928, but it was not issued until 1985, a gap of 57 years. This makes it a rare and unique coin in the numismatic world.
