Interesting fact

The 1 Dhabu coin from the Princely state of Kutch is interesting because it was issued during the reign of George VI, but it features the image of Vijayarajji, who was the ruler of Kutch during the 1940s. This coin is a unique example of a princely state coin that was issued during the British colonial period in India.
