Interesting fact

The 1 Dokdo coin from the Princely state of Porbandar is interesting because it was issued during a time when the Indian princely states were transitioning from using cowry shells as currency to using coins made of metals like copper, silver, and gold. This coin, made of copper, was likely used for everyday transactions and reflects the economic and cultural changes taking place in the region during the 19th century.
