Comment
Most issues from the Princely state of Radhanpur are Copper Paise but here we have a (Likely) Nazrana Gold Kori that many speculate was issued to commemorate the royal wedding of the year and for presentation and courtly purposes. A very rare issue.
Interesting fact
The 1 Kori - Muhammad Jalaluddin Khan (Gold Nazrana) 1333 (1915) coin from the Princely state of Radhanpur is an interesting piece of history because it was issued during a time of great change in India. The coin was minted in 1915, just a few years before India gained independence from British colonial rule in 1947. It's fascinating to think about the journey this coin has been on, from being a symbol of wealth and power in a princely state to becoming a piece of history that can be appreciated and studied today.
