Interesting fact
The Banaras Hindu University Centenary coin, minted in 2016, features an unique design that showcases the university's rich history and cultural heritage. On one side, the coin depicts the university's iconic logo, which includes a swastika, a symbol that is often associated with Hinduism and Buddhism. However, the swastika on the coin is not the Nazi swastika, but rather the ancient Indian symbol that represents good luck, prosperity, and spiritual growth. This design element is a nod to the university's commitment to preserving and promoting Indian culture and traditions.
