Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Dokda - Victoria [Khengarji III] coin from the Princely state of Kutch is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in India. The coin was issued during the reign of Khengarji III, who was the ruler of Kutch from 1883 to 1889, and then again from 1940 to 1946. During this time, India was under British colonial rule, and the princely states, including Kutch, were struggling to maintain their independence and autonomy. Despite these challenges, the 3 Dokda coin remained a popular form of currency in Kutch and surrounding regions, and it continues to be a valuable collector's item to this day.
