2. Bi-metallic 10
Rupees from India...........by and Rony Ghose and Wolfgang Schuster
With the launch of new 10 Rupee coins a new
era of Bi-metallic coins has started in India. The India
Government mint after several years of
testing finally released its first
Bi-metallic coin with the 'information
technology' design. Although the launch was delayed from
the original intended Diwali release date (2nd October 2008), the coin dated
2008 has received positive response from both the collector
community in home and abroad.
Of the earlier minted 'unity
in diversity' (=cross) design bimetallic10
Rupees so far only very few specimens have been
available, which were offered as patterns, but this cross design
Bb-imetallic 10 Rupee was also released this year. So far
dates 2005, 2006 and 2007 with mintmark
dot (=Noida Mint) can be confirmed, possibly other years/mintmarks will
show up. The
design is still much discussed in India and
widely rejected as it resembles a (christian) cross.
 There also will
be a commemorative Bb-imetallic10 Rupees coin dated
2008 commemorating the ter-centenary of Gur-Ta -Gaddi,
which only will be available in the set. Bookings for the
set has already started, the release is expected later this year. http://203.76.168.43/India/store/broadllyne_viewItem.asp?idProduct=29
