The Most Beautiful Coin Of Republic India
Inarguably
the most beautiful coin of the Indian Republic is the International Year of the
child coin. The single 100 rupees coin comes in two formats and two different
sizes (according to weight). The coin has found its way on the covers of many
numismatic books and guides. Its sheer crafting and its finishing looks are
splendid. No other Republic Indian coin issued till today holds the title of
being the most beautiful. It is also based on the theme of IYC which is of
course a beautiful theme in itself. I dare to say that this coin is the most
beautiful coin in the world based on this theme. Yes, there are lots of coins
based on IYC issued by many different countries but this coin stands out
uniquely in its beauty.
Now
where there is beauty there is also a beast nearby, talking about the replica
coins and the duplicates China is beyond fathomable comparisons. Lots of fake Chinese
coins exist in the market, perhaps the largest number of fakes for this coins
and it brings out the sweat of even the accomplished experts to judge the real
coin. So be sure to buy the real one and keep away from the fake ones.
- This coin was issued in two formats The Proof Set and The Pie fort.
- There is only one Pie Fort coin issued in India and it’s to commemorate the “International Year of Youth”
- First time a commemorative was released as a Single Coin
- First time there is no UNC Set
- First time there are no coins for regular circulation
- Booking for individual coin collector was limited to only 2 proof sets and 1 pie fort
- Only “Paramount International Coin Corporation” was permitted by mint to export these coin sets.
I
hope this satisfies your imagination for perfection. I say this is a lovely
coin but possessing a beautiful lady is a costly affair but nevertheless it is
justified one. The current price for the proof set is around Rs 12000 to 20000
(depends also on the accompanying cover and the card) and the pie fort price is
around Rs 80,000 to 10,0000. So we can see it’s a costly affair but love for
coins makes us do some unanticipated things. I won't call it just the love for
the coins it is a passion.
