Princely State of Kutch One Dhabu 1/8 Kori 1946

Step into the unique monetary world of western India with the One Dhabu (1/8 Kori) coin from the Princely State of Kutch, struck by the Jadeja dynasty rulers of this distinctive Gujarat kingdom. Kutch maintained one of the most independent and culturally distinct coinage traditions in princely India, with denominations like the Kori, Dhabu, Payalo, Dokdo, and Trambiyo forming a layered system unlike anything else in the subcontinent.
The One Dhabu, valued at 1/8 of a Kori, was a copper coin used for everyday transactions in the markets and ports of Kutch, including the historic trading hub of Mandvi. Its design typically features Kutchi script inscriptions, the ruler's name, and traditional motifs that reflect the kingdom's strong maritime, cultural, and trading heritage along the Arabian Sea.
Embedded into an Anka handcrafted wooden watch, this distinctive copper coin becomes a wearable tribute to one of India's most independent monetary traditions. Oak wood's natural grain offers a grounded, elegant setting for a piece of Kutch's living history.

USP : A rare denomination from Kutch's unique coinage system, transformed into a wearable piece of Gujarat heritage.
