Overview

The reverse side features the numeral '2' beside a graphic of a hand showing two fingers (peace or victory sign), with 'RUPEES' written in English and 'रूपये' in Hindi. The obverse typically features the Lion Capital of Ashoka.

Historical significance

This design was part of the 'Unity in Diversity' series released by the Reserve Bank of India. It was controversial at the time due to the stylized cross on similar versions of the 1 and 2 rupee coins, which some groups claimed resembled a Christian cross, leading to design changes in later series.

Estimated value

$0.05 - $0.50 USD (Face value or slightly higher for collectors, though some specific mint marks can vary)

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture to prevent oxidative staining. Handle by the edges to avoid leaving fingerprints which can cause surface corrosion on stainless steel. Use acid-free coin holders for long-term storage.
