Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1937, but it features the image of King George VI, who did not ascend to the throne until 1936, following the abdication of his brother, Edward VIII. This means that the coin was minted during a time of transition in the British monarchy, and its production may have been a way for the Princely state of Kutch to demonstrate its loyalty to the new king.
