Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Kori coin from the Princely state of Kutch is that it features a unique blend of Indian and European design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of King Edward VII, while the reverse side features a depiction of a traditional Indian lotus flower, surrounded by the coin's denomination and the name of the princely state in Gujarati script. This fusion of styles reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Kutch region, which was known for its blend of Indian, Persian, and European influences.
