| Additional information |
Kutch occupied an unusual position among Indian princely states — its rulers retained the right to strike coins in both their own name and that of the British sovereign simultaneously, a dual-authority arrangement formalized through the relationship between the Maharao and the paramount power. This piece dates to the year of Edward VIII's abdication, meaning production almost certainly bridged reigns mid-year. Khengarji III had ruled since 1876 and died in 1942, making the late 1930s issues among the final coinages of his exceptionally long tenure.
