| Additional information |
Kutch operated its own mint at Bhuj under a treaty arrangement that permitted the princely state to strike copper coinage alongside British Indian issues well into the colonial period. Khengarji III, who ruled from 1876 to 1942, was among the longest-reigning princes of the Kathiawar region and maintained a notably cooperative relationship with the British Raj — cooperative enough that his coinage bore Victoria's name alongside his own, a dual acknowledgment of authority that not all princely mints were required to adopt.
The Y#31.1 designation distinguishes this variety within a series that saw several die revisions during the 1880s.
