INDIA: bimetallic 10 rupees, 2004, pattern in original packaging, labeled Unity in Diversity, Brilliant Unc, RRR. The bimetallic ten rupee coin was proposed in India in 2003, and a few examples dated 2004 were produced to show to the appropriate bureaucrats and receive their impressions. After its approval, a few inaugural sets were issued with this presentation pack. None others were ever struck dated 2004 and the type was never produced for regular circulation. A few pieces also exist dated 2005, but there was no known presentation packaging for that year. The issue was produced for circulation in 2005-2007, with the mark of the Noida mint, replaced by a new design in 2008. This is one of the highest rarities of modern Indian coinage of the Republic. It has not yet been listed in the pattern section of the SCWC for the Republic of India.

Estimate: 6,000- 8,000 USD
