[[File:Old Gujarati Coins.jpg|thumb|Kori coins]]

The '''Kori'''  was the [[currency]] of [[Kutch State]] until 1948. It was subdivided into 24 ''Dokda'' (singular ''Dokdo'' ), each of 2 ''Trambiyo''. Only [[coin]]s were issued. Other copper coins in use were called ''Dhabbu'' and ''Dhinglo''. The Kori was replaced by the [[Indian rupee]].

Silver coins of Kutch were commonly minted in 4 denominations - Half Kori, 1 Kori, 2.5 Kori and 5 Kori. Due to differing silver content, the 5 Kori coin is only about 3 times the weight of the 1 Kori coin. 

The coins of Kutch bore the name of the local ruler, Maharao of the [[Kutch State]] and the British monarch. 

Kutch was one of the very few Indian [[princely state]]s which issued coins jointly in the name of [[Edward VIII]], whose reign lasted less than a year, before his abdication.

1 Kori = 2 Adhio = 4 Payalo = 8 Dhabu = 16 Dhingla = 24 Dokda = 48 Trambiya = 96 Babukiya
