<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bgarg, post: 205260, member: 1876&quot;]These various mintmarks on Republic Indian coins are always confusing and cause trouble.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, I think most of the confusion was caused because of far outdated reference book Aidan is using. The 1981 edition Krause won&#039;t say anything about those coins which were minted on contract basis by various mints or by newly established Noida mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>In fact Noida city didn&#039;t existed before 1982. It&#039;s a newly built city just outside of New Delhi.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding coins of &#039;Republic of India&#039; in Krause, my experience is that their listing is fairly accurate and reliable. I had noticed that they are missing only one mint, Royal Mint, London. In 1999, a 2 rupees coin was minted at this mint with a different mint-mark, sometime referred as &quot;tower&quot; mint-mark. </p><p><br /></p><p>Regards</p><p>Ballabh Garg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
