Comment
- Weight varies 6.8-7.2 gramsInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 2½ Kori - Vibhaji coin from the Princely state of Nawanagar is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in India. The coin was issued in 1891-1893, a period when the Indian princely states were facing pressure from the British colonial government to adopt a standardized system of currency. This coin, made of silver and weighing 7.0 grams, was part of an effort by the Princely state of Nawanagar to maintain its independence and sovereignty in the face of British colonialism. Despite the challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience and determination of the people of Nawanagar.
