This majestic copper coin from the princely state of Kutch showcases India’s deep-rooted cultural heritage. Featuring the iconic Nandi bull and royal inscriptions in Devanagari, this square copper coin dates back to the reign of Maharao Shri Khengarji III under British suzerainty. The bold symbolism of the sacred bull combined with traditional script offers a glimpse into a time when spirituality and monarchy coexisted in numismatic art.

Struck in copper and bearing the typical square format of Kutch coinage, this piece was minted during the late 19th century, a period of great transition in Indian princely states. The obverse presents a well-defined humped bull (Nandi), a revered figure in Hindu mythology, surrounded by Devanagari script naming the ruler and possibly the Vikram Samvat year. The reverse includes royal script with traces of British acknowledgment, making it a historical blend of indigenous and colonial rule.
