Interesting fact
The 125th Birth Anniversary of PC Mahalanobis commemorative coin is unique in that it features a rarely seen design element on its obverse side. Instead of the customary portrait of a historical figure or a national symbol, the coin features a representation of the "Mahalanobis distance," a statistical concept developed by PC Mahalanobis himself. The Mahalanobis distance is a measure of the distance between a point and a distribution, and it has applications in various fields such as statistics, data analysis, and machine learning. This design choice highlights the contributions of PC Mahalanobis to the field of statistics and data analysis, making the coin a distinctive and meaningful tribute to his legacy.
