1 Dhabu - George VI [VijayarajJi]

Kutch retained minting rights longer than almost any other Indian princely state, striking copper coinage well into the 1940s under the nominal authority of Maharao Vijayarajji while simultaneously acknowledging British suzerainty through George VI's regnal title. The arrangement was purely political — Kutch had maintained its own currency system for centuries and British India had little practical reason to absorb it before Partition reshuffled every boundary.

Bhuj mint output from this period is often weakly struck on the margins due to aging dies and inconsistent planchet preparation, a known characteristic of late-state issues rather than any individual piece's fault.
