Posted by on January 3, 2012 8 comments

1 rupee coin of 1970 is one of the rare coins of republic of India. Very few coins were released in circulation and hence this particular 1 rupee coin fetches high 4 figure price in the market. There are many fakes available for few hundred rupees and generally the novice coin enthusiasts fall for such fakes.

The proof coin is also rare in nature and is available as a part of Proof set of 1970. The coin is generally available separately from the set as well but one needs to be very careful in buying such coins. The coin weighs 10 gms and is made of Nickel with a diameter of 28mm.

5 rupees 2007 Bal gangadhar tilakji error coin

Posted by on February 19, 2011 9 comments

In 2007, the RBI issued a 5 rupees commemorative coin honoring Bal Gangadhar Tilak. However, the lettering on the coin in Hindi mentioned Tilak as Tilakji. Bal Gangadhar Tilak is never referred to as Tilakji. Adding Ji at the end of the name is an Indian practice to show respect to the person (eg Gandhiji). At the inauguration of the coin at Delhi, the error was immediately brought to the notice of the authorities. Except for the low number of coins circulated on that day, no other such coins were circulated. Hence this coin became an error as well as rare coin of Republic of India.

Some unconfirmed reports mentioned that the error was brought to the notice of the authorities by Raj Thackeray. Fearing tension, the withdrawal decision was taken.

The steel coin is even rarer.
