Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Dokda coin from the Princely state of Kutch is that it features a unique blend of Indian and British influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of King Edward VII, who was the King of the United Kingdom at the time, while the reverse side features the image of Khengarji III, the ruler of Kutch. This blend of British and Indian elements reflects the complex history of the Princely state of Kutch, which was a British protectorate but also maintained its own local rulers and traditions.
