why did punjab kesari ranjit Singh quoted price of the diamond as 5 shoes ?..

Answer / Aarchi Tyagi

The quote of 5 shoes for a diamond by Punjab Kesari Ranjit Singh was an idiomatic expression from his time. Shoes were considered expensive items, and five shoes would have been a very large sum in the 19th century when this event took place. This quote is often used to emphasize that something is extremely valuable.
