5 Kori - Victoria [Khengarji III] Kutch

Khengarji III ruled Kutch from 1876 until his death in 1942 — an unusually long reign that saw the state navigate the full arc of high British imperialism through to the eve of independence. The 5 Kori was the principal silver denomination of the state, and Kutch maintained its own coinage far longer than most princely states, partly due to its geographic position as a major trading hub on the northwest coast, where locally issued coin remained commercially practical.

The Y#37.2 variety designation reflects die differences documented within this type. Kutch silver of this period was struck at the state mint in Bhuj.
