| Aanvullende informatie |
Kutch was one of the few princely states permitted to maintain its own coinage under British paramountcy, a right jealously retained by the Bhuj court well into the twentieth century. The "Dokdo" denomination — equivalent to one and a half pice — was peculiar to Kutch and had no parallel in British India's standardized currency. Khengarji III, who ruled from 1876 to 1942, issued coins in the name of the reigning British monarch while preserving Kutch's own reckoning system, a careful political balance between nominal subordination and local monetary identity.
The 1909 date places this piece in the final year of Edward VII's reign; he died in May 1910.
