Comment

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1990 Dr. Ambedkar commemorative coin from India is that it features a unique error, known as a "mule" error. This occurs when a coin is struck with the dies of a different coin, resulting in a mismatched combination of designs. In this case, the coin bears the obverse (front) design of the 1 Rupee coin, but the reverse (back) design of a different coin, creating a rare and collectible variation.
