Interesting fact

The 10 Rupees (Sri Aurobindo) 1998 coin from India is a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not meant to be used as regular currency. Instead, it was issued as a commemorative coin to honor the 125th birth anniversary of Sri Aurobindo, a famous Indian nationalist, philosopher, and yogi. The coin's design features an image of Sri Aurobindo on one side and the national emblem of India on the other. It was made of copper-nickel and weighs 12.5 grams.
