3 Dokda - George V [Khengarji III]

The 3 Dokda coin from the Princely state of Kutch featuring George V (Khengarji III) has an interesting fact. Despite being minted in 1982, the coin bears the date 1925, which is the year when the Kutch state first issued its own coinage. This anomaly in the date is due to the fact that the Kutch state followed a different calendar system, the Vikram Samvat, which was 57 years ahead of the Gregorian calendar. Therefore, the coin's date of 1925 corresponds to the year 1982 in the Gregorian calendar.
