Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 5 Kori - Victoria [Pragmalji II] coin from the Princely state of Kutch is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in India. The coin was minted between 1921 and 1932, a period that saw the rise of the Indian independence movement and the eventual independence of India from British colonial rule in 1947. Despite the political upheaval, the coin remained a standard circulation coin during this time, a testament to the resilience and stability of the Indian monetary system.
