| Additional information |
Kutch retained the unusual privilege of striking its own silver coinage well into the British colonial period, a concession rooted in the state's early cooperation with the East India Company during the 1819 campaign against the Waghers. Khengarji III ruled for over six decades — one of the longest reigns of any Indian princely ruler — and the coinage issued under his name spans a remarkable range of regnally-dated types tied to both the Victorian and Edwardian imperial obverses required by the Crown.
The Y#37.7 designation reflects one of several die marriages within this emission; Kutch 5 Kori varieties are distinguished primarily by positioning of the Vikrama Samvat date and minor differences in the local Kutchi script treatment around the julus year.
