INDIA. 2 Rupee "Experimental Coin", 2005. Mumbai Mint. PCGS SP-65 Secure Holder.
KM-unlisted (see KM-A365 for basic type). "75 YEARS OF DANDI MARCH". VERY RARE and presumably unpublished. Essentially identical to the commemorative circulation issue of this year, however two horizontal lines with "EXP" between them for "EXPERIMENTAL COIN" have been added to the reverse dies prior to striking. The 2005 commemorative 5 Rupees were minted only at Mumbai (Bombay). This example was produced by the Bombay mint as a "sample" or "experimental coin" in order to gain approval, similar in nature to a pattern or essay. PCGS SP-65 Secure Holder.
Estimate: $700.00- $900.00
