One Rupee Coin - 2006

Obverse


Reverse


The coin posted above considered as a rarest coin of Republic India. This types of coins were minted through 2004, 2005 and 2006. But now we have only the coins of 2005 in circulation. The other two coins are not in circulation due to withdrawals by RBI to avoid some political problem (caused by BJP). The price of these coins of the year 2004 & 2006 are increasing rapidly day by day. I got it from my dealer in cheap rate.
