<p>[QUOTE=&quot;spiraltreet, post: 269256, member: 3476&quot;]hello guys, here is some news for collectors of coins from India.&nbsp; The Reserve Bank of India issued Five Rupee coin commemorating 150th birth anneversary of&nbsp; Bal Gangadhar Tilak this year. And immediately after issueing, the coin was withdrawn because of a glaring mistake.&nbsp; It is written &#039;Bal Gangadhar Tilak Ji&#039; in Hindi letters.. Usually, the &#039;Ji&#039; is not used with Tilak.&nbsp; But, as a mark of respect to this great freedom fighter, we can accept it.. Still, the &#039;Ji&#039; is not an independent word. It should have written &#039;Tilakji&#039; and not &#039;Tilak Ji&#039;.&nbsp; Anyway,&nbsp; almost all the 20,00,000 coins were withdrawn and a few of them were already issued as souvenirs to the Tilak family to be distributed.&nbsp; This coin has got the potential to be another rare coin from the Republic of India. Unfortunately, i&#039;m yet to secure a coin for my collection.. but i got a scan of the coin..[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
