Comment
Notes:1. Obverse design from stainless steel India Republic 1 rupee, KM#394.
Reverse from India Republic, 5 rupees KM#399.
2. Since the 1 rupee obverse die is of smaller diameter than the 23mm planchet, there are two rings around the obverse rim.
3. No mint mark = Calcutta Mint.
Interesting fact
The 5 Rupees (mule) coin from India, minted between 2011 and 2017, has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins. It has a raised rim on both sides, which is not commonly found on coins. This raised rim is known as a "mule" and is created by striking the coin twice, resulting in a raised edge around the circumference of the coin. This feature was added to help visually impaired individuals identify the coin more easily.
