Interesting fact
The 5 Kori coin from the Princely state of Kutch (Indian princely states) made of Silver (.937) weighing 13.87 g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the reign of Khengarji III, who was the ruler of Kutch from 1876 to 1933. Despite being a princely state, Kutch had its own currency, and this coin is a rare and valuable example of that era's numismatic history.
