Comment
Weight varies 4.4 - 4.7 gramsInteresting 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 1875 to 1942. The coin features an image of Victoria, the Roman goddess of victory, on one side, and the Kutch coat of arms on the other. The use of Victoria's image was a common practice among Indian princely states during the British colonial era, as it symbolized the state's allegiance to the British Empire. The coin's unique design and historical significance make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and enthusiasts of Indian history.
