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 Muhammad Akbar Shah II (also known as Desalji II), who was the ruler of Kutch from 1838 to 1860. The coin was made of silver and weighed 4 grams, which was a significant weight for a coin of its denomination at that time.
