1 Kori - Khengarji II

Khengarji II ruled Kutch at a time when the kingdom was consolidating its position between Mughal imperial pressure and the rising commercial power of Surat's merchant networks. The kori itself was the backbone of Kutch's independent monetary system, a denomination that would persist through successive rulers for over two centuries. That continuity makes early-reign issues like those of Khengarji II considerably harder to attribute precisely — die wear, stylistic drift across the decade-long window, and the absence of dated specimens on most strikes complicate placement within the reign.
