Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Dokdo - Desalji II 1259-1262 (1843-1846) from Princely state of Kutch (Indian princely states) made of Copper weighing 8.1 g is that it features a unique blend of Indian and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the inscription "Desalji II" in Arabic script, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of a lion, which is a common motif in Indian coinage. This blending of cultural elements reflects the rich history and diversity of the Princely state of Kutch, which was a region in the Indian subcontinent that was ruled by a series of local princes from the 16th century until India's independence in 1947.
