3 Dokda - Victoria [Pragmalji II]

Kutch maintained its own coinage well into the British period through a formal arrangement that required native issues to acknowledge both the local ruler and the Crown — hence the paired authority reflected in this type. Pragmalji II ruled from 1860 to 1875, a period during which Kutch remained one of the more administratively distinct princely states in the Bombay Presidency. The dokda denomination was peculiar to Kutch, part of a local reckoning system that never fully mapped onto imperial metrology.
