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.\u003cbr\u003eStruck 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.\u003cbr\u003eSet 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUSP : A rare silver Kori from Madansinhji's three-month reign — the final coin of independent Kutch before integration with India.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anka Watches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63011889185139,"sku":"ANKA-C-1948KUT-1K-M-MDN-241","price":25200.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0944\/7941\/7715\/files\/DSC00941.jpg?v=1782121615","url":"https:\/\/anka.watch\/products\/princely-state-of-kutch-1948-1-kori-241","provider":"Anka Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
