Interesting fact
The 2 Dokda coin from the Princely state of Junagadh was minted in 1907, during the reign of Maharaja Bahadur Khanji II. It was made of copper and had a unique design, featuring the state's emblem on one side and the value of the coin on the other. The emblem depicted a lion standing on a circular platform, surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This design was a symbol of the state's rich history and culture. It's worth noting that the Princely state of Junagadh was one of the many princely states that existed in India during the British colonial era. These states were ruled by local monarchs who were allowed to issue their own coins, stamps, and other symbols of statehood. The 2 Dokda coin is a rare and valuable collector's item today, and it serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Princely state of Junagadh.
