Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 5 Kori coin from the Princely state of Kutch is that it features a unique blend of traditional Indian and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of King Khengarji III, also known as Edward VIII, in a traditional Indian turban and robes, while the reverse side features a depiction of a lion standing on a crown, which is a common motif in Western heraldry. This blending of styles reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Princely state of Kutch and its history of interaction with European colonial powers.
