In these coins, the 1 Re commemorating 150 years of Post and the 5Rs commemorating Lal Bahadur Shastri and Dandi March are a bit scarce now.. well.. not much... but will cost a little bit more than the other coins..

I'm particularly interested in the Bose coin. Where may I purchase on of these?

 

You can find the Bose coin in two different years. The actual year is 1997.. but a few coins were minted with the year 1996 which is very difficult to find. You can find these coins frequently in the Indian eBay. It wont cost too much.

 

I am not sure if i already posted these but here are some more old indian coins

 

Spock1k,those are nice Portuguese Indian coins.

Aidan.

 

Thanks. I especially like the 1 tanga.

 

Spock, that last silver one is quite rare...I have seen it being advertised in uncirculated for $150 !!!!

 

I dont know how the pricing works here.. I can get these coins ( 1 Escudo and 60 cent) in UNC for less than 5 or 6 dollars. But, I've noted quite a few of these listed with exorbitant prices.. :rolling:

 

Biju,did you end up buying that commemorative mule coin in the end?

Aidan.

 

Aidan, I had no luck this time...think, I'll get it very soon... seems its become a hot favourite.. for a lot of collectors..

Can you point me to some link which tells me more about the mule coin with a picture preferably? thanks

 

I'm sorry... I cannot do that now... just because it has just been located. Almost 90% of the Narayana Guru coins were circulated in the state of Kerala and obviously the dealers here found out it for the first time. Give me some more time and I'll show the mule coin.. :smile

 

Here we go If you look at the 3rd pic there seem to be 3 small dots just above the Kings head, anyone got any ideas? they are raised.

Hmm, maybe a die-failure of some type???

I think those were to celebrate the third year of his being on coins? If we follow the Victorian example.

 

Um not sure about that as his 1st Rupee was in 1903, due I believe to some concern over the original designs not been excepted in 01.
