Rare coins recently issued by India

The coin series Unity in Diversity was intended to be defining coin series one would have had from this country. Unity in Diversity is an important theme in history of India Republic wherein varied cultural and linguistic regions was united to call a single nation called Republic of India.

However the outcry of the design behind the theme "Unity in Diversity" coins bore a cross which was described by RBI to symbolize "Four parts of the country coming together under one banner and identifying as one nation". The outcry was mainly from the political parties aligned with Hindu thoughts. They opposed the coin and due to this the coin series was put to rest.

The coins were minted between 2004 and 2007.

"Press Release for Re. 1, Rs. 2, Rs. 5 and Rs. 10."

Re. 1 and Rs. 5 had one cross with four dots on each side of the cross. Whereas Rs. 2 and Rs. 10 had two cross with four dots on each side.

The following in this series are rare:
  • The Re. 1 of 2004 
  • The Rs. 5
  • The Rs. 10 of 2007
If anyone has these coins, grab them. I love the Rs. 5 design most importantly the font in which 5 has been minted is what I love in the coin set as a whole.

I have collected from circulation Re. 1, Rs. 2, Rs. 5 & Rs. 10.
