Additional information

Kutch maintained its own coinage well into the twentieth century under the paramountcy arrangement with British India, which permitted princely states to issue copper fractions for local circulation while silver and gold effectively fell under imperial standardization. The trambiyo — one-sixteenth of an anna — occupied the lowest rung of a currency system so fragmented that neighboring states often struck coins unacceptable just miles away. Khengarji III ruled Kutch from 1876 until 1942, one of the longest reigns among princely rulers of the period.
