Junagadh's coinage during the reign of Bahadur Khan II operated under the peculiar legal framework of the East India Company's subsidiary alliance system, which left the nawabs nominally sovereign over local currency while British political agents exercised increasing oversight over state finances. The kori denomination itself was a regional unit specific to Kathiawar and Kutch — not interchangeable with Company rupee fractions — which allowed Junagadh to maintain a distinct monetary identity even as neighboring princely states were absorbed into standardized colonial currency zones.
