Rs.2 - 2006 (1)Rs.2 - 2006 (2)

Touted as the Christian Cross, this coin had created a controversy. Political parties aligned with Hindu thoughts strongly opposed to this series of coins. Here is what RBI had to say:
The reverse face of the coin shows stylised representation of “Unity in Diversity” a defining characteristic of our country. The symbol shall be seen as four heads sharing a common body. It shall be thought of as people from all four parts of the country coming together under one banner and identifying with one nation. [Press Release]
