What drives this coin's value
Condition and mint mark are the primary factors. Some years/mint combinations are slightly scarcer, but 2016 is very common.
Grade assessment
Fine/Very Fine - showing significant surface bag marks and slight wear on high points.
Mintage & rarity
Common; produced in the hundreds of millions.
Authenticity & counterfeit red flags
Check for magnetic properties (the coin should be magnetic) and verify the crispness of the lettering. Counterfeits of this low denomination are rare.
Notable varieties & errors
Die rotation errors or off-center strikes are occasionally found by collectors.
Similar coins
Older 1 Rupee coins (cupro-nickel or larger ferritic steel) without the '₹' symbol.
Care & preservation
Store in a cool, dry place. Since it is stainless steel, it is naturally resistant to corrosion, but avoid using abrasive cleaners which can scratch the surface.
