1 Kori - Victoria [Pragmalji II]

One interesting fact about the 1 Kori - Victoria [Pragmalji II] coin from the Princely state of Kutch is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in India. The coin was minted during the reign of Pragmalji II, who was the ruler of Kutch from 1862 to 1864, and then again from 1875 to 1884. During this time, India was under British colonial rule, and the princely states, including Kutch, were facing pressure from the British to adopt new currency systems and economic policies. Despite these challenges, the 1 Kori coin remained an important part of the local economy and was widely used in trade and commerce.
