Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Kori coin from the Princely state of Kutch is that it was minted during the reign of Khengarji III, who was the ruler of Kutch from 1928 to 1936. The coin features an image of King George V on one side and the Kutch coat of arms on the other. The Kutch coat of arms includes a depiction of a mythical creature called a "kirtimukha," which is a symbol of protection and good luck in Hindu mythology. This coin is a unique example of the blending of British and Indian cultural influences during the colonial era.
