Interesting fact

The 3 Dokda coin from the Princely state of Kutch is interesting because it features a portrait of Victoria, the British monarch, on one side, and Pragmalji II, the ruler of Kutch, on the other. This coin was issued during a time when India was still under British colonial rule, and it highlights the unique relationship between the British Empire and the princely states of India.
