1 Dokdo - Victoria [Pragmalji II]

Bhuj was the capital mint of Kutch, a princely state that retained striking autonomy well into the British colonial period through treaty arrangements. Pragmalji II ruled from 1860 to 1875, and coinage of his reign bears the unusual dual-authority format required by the Crown — acknowledging Victoria while preserving the local ruler's name, a political compromise worked out state by state rather than through any uniform policy.

The dokdo denomination is specific to Kutch's traditional currency system, which resisted metrication until well after this issue.
