Nawanagar's copper trambiyo series under Vibhaji ran for over four decades without meaningful design revision — a reflection of the state's administrative stability rather than any minting ambition. Vibhaji ruled from 1852 to 1895, one of the longer princely tenures in Kathiawar, and his coinage circulated through a port economy built largely on the dhow trade out of Jamnagar.
KM#13 is known with considerable die variation across the long production run.
