1 Trambiyo - Victoria [Khengarji III]

Kutch operated as a semi-autonomous princely state under British paramountcy, and its local copper coinage circulated alongside British India issues well into the late nineteenth century. Khengarji III, who ruled from 1875 to 1942, was unusual among contemporary Indian princes in actively modernizing Kutch's administrative and monetary systems — the regularization of this trambiyo issue in the early 1880s was part of that broader effort.
