[QUOTE="(v), post: 629148, member: 18497"]lonsharim, There are more mints for Indian (Republic) coins. The Mumbai or Bombay mint is actually a diamond (though it looks like a dot). On earlier proofs the mm was a "B" and now is "M". The Calcutta mint does not have a mint mark. The Hyderabad mm is either a star or earlier ones were a diamond with dot or split diamond. The Noida mint has a dot. There were some PL coins which had a mm of "U" to denote "uncirculated" -- these came in sets--eg. the Nehru UNC coins. As far as foreign mints go, these were-- Mexico City-- "o" over "M" Kremnica-- "MK" in circle Taegu, South Korea-- star below last digit of date Birmingham-- "H" London-- diamond below first date digit Pretoria-- "M" in oval Moscow-- "MMD" in oval Ottawa-- "C" There is one more mint having mm of an elongated "U". This is not mentioned in Krause but this is from the UK. I hope this helps![/QUOTE]
