Overview

Historical significance

This coin series was part of a design shift in Indian coinage introduced in the mid-2000s. The 'Unity in Diversity' series was notable for its controversial cross design, which some critics felt resembled a Christian cross, eventually leading to its replacement with the 'Nritya Mudra' series.

Estimated value

$0.05 - $0.50 USD (Face value or slightly above for collectors, depending on condition)

Care & preservation

Keep in a dry environment to prevent surface staining. Use a protective PVC-free flip if storing in a collection. Do not clean with abrasive chemicals as it can damage the luster of the stainless steel.
