Kutch (Kachchh), Rao Shri Khengarji III, Silver 5 Kori, VS 1992 (1936 AD), Edward VIII, KM Y#53a / RS#248.1 – Extremely Fine – This rare and historically important silver 5 Kori was issued by the princely state of Rao Shri Khengarji III in VS 1992 (1936 AD). The coin is notable for bearing the name of Edward VIII, whose reign lasted less than a year before his abdication, making coins issued in his name particularly desirable among collectors. Struck in silver, the coin features traditional Kutch legends and royal inscriptions reflecting the state's semi-autonomous status under British rule. Catalogued as KM Y#53a and RS#248.1, this issue is a key collectible in the series of Kutch coinage due to its short-lived royal association and limited period of issue. Offered in Extremely Fine condition, the coin displays strong detail, attractive surfaces, and minimal wear, making it a highly sought-after piece for collectors of Indian princely states, British India-related coinage, and Edward VIII numismatic rarities.
