<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 118496, member: 669&quot;]Aidan, my primary source of information on Indian coins is Krause, which strongly disagrees with you.&nbsp; On page 1073 of the 2006 33rd Ed., it lists the following mint marks for Republic of India coins, <i>in addition</i> to those you mentioned:</p><p><br /></p><blockquote><p>(Krause puts a mintmark in parenthesis when it is something other than a letter of the alphabet and a plain letter when that is the mint mark.)</p></blockquote><p> <ul> <li>C - Ottowa (1985 25 Paise; 1988 10, 25 &amp; 50 Paise)</li> <li>(C) Calcutta, no mint mark</li> <li>H - Birmingham (1985 Rupee only)<blockquote><p> [My apologies for not reading carefully and jumping to a conclusion about &quot;H&quot; standing for Heaton.:goof:]</p></blockquote> </li> <li>(K) - Kremnica, Slovakia, MK in circle</li> <li>London, diamond below first date digit</li> <li>(N) - Noida, dot</li> <li>(P) - Pretoria, M in oval</li> <li>(R) Moscow, MMD in oval</li> <li>(T) - Taegu, (Korea), star below first date digit.</li> </ul><p><br /></p><p>While I am the first to admit that Krause is not prefect, I really, really, find it hard to believe that it is so far off base about Indian coins as to list nine mints that never produced coins for a single country.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Three different mint marks are listed for Bombay, two for proofs at different times, and one for circulation issues minted there.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>According to <a href="http://www.noidamint.org/about.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.noidamint.org/about.htm" rel="nofollow">this Indian Government site</a> the Noida Mint was the first one created after Independence.&nbsp; It&#039;s only been around for a couple of decades, so the 1985 Rupee which Krause says was minted there would have been one of it&#039;s very first products.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
