Princely State of Kutch 1948 1 Kori

Step into the closing chapter of an independent Kutch with the 1948 Princely State of Kutch 1 Kori, struck under Maharao Madansinhji — the last reigning Maharao of Kutch, whose brief three-month rule from February to June 1948 marked the final flicker of one of India's most distinctive princely sovereignties.
Madansinhji ascended the throne on 26 February 1948 following the death of his father Maharao Vijayaraji, and reigned for just over three months before Kutch acceded to the Indian Union on 1 June 1948. Coins minted in this brief window are among the rarest of all Kutch issues — tangible artifacts of a kingdom in its final months of independent rule.
Struck in silver and inscribed with Kutchi script, the 1 Kori carries the visual and cultural identity of Kutch's distinctive coinage system, anchored by sub-denominations like the Dhabu, Paylo, and Trambiyo. The 1948 Madansinhji issue represents the very last expression of Kutch's monetary sovereignty before integration into the new Republic of India.
Set into hand-carved oak wood, the 1948 Madansinhji Kori becomes the centrepiece of a luxurious Anka timepiece. The wood's natural grain complements the coin's aged silver patina, honouring a piece born of one of India's shortest reigns and one of its most poignant historical transitions.

USP : A rare silver Kori from Madansinhji's three-month reign — the final coin of independent Kutch before integration with India.
