There was a lot of influx of counterfeit coins from the adjoining Morbi State into the Kutch state. In order to curb the nuicanse, Kutch in 1928 made it mandatory to get all the 5 Kori coins to be engraved with security edge inscription. The system, however, also authorized fake Morbi coins. But in the process many coins were left behind to be engraved. The present lot is such a one.
