| Additional information |
Kutch operated under a treaty relationship with the British Crown that required local coinage to acknowledge imperial authority while remaining technically a princely issue. Pragmalji II, who ruled from 1860 to 1875, navigated that arrangement by placing Victoria's name alongside his own — a dual-authority formula common to several Kathiawar and Kutch denominations of the period. The trambiyo was the smallest practical copper unit in local circulation, and these pieces saw hard use in the coastal markets of Bhuj and Mandvi.
