Interesting fact

The 2½ Kori coin from the Princely state of Kutch (Indian princely states) made of Silver (.937) weighing 6.935 g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the reign of Khengarji III, who was the ruler of Kutch from 1875 to 1942. He was known for his efforts in modernizing the state and introducing new reforms, including the introduction of a new currency, which was the Kutch Kori. This coin was a part of that currency and was used widely in the princely state of Kutch during that time.
