Description
Presenting a highly mysterious and rare ₹2 coin featuring Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, dated 1990 — a coin that was never officially released by the Indian Government or RBI, yet has been found in limited circulation by collectors and numismatists.
This piece is widely regarded as either:
-
A pattern/test coin,
-
An unofficial mint product,
-
Or a commemorative fantasy issue, never authorized for mass distribution.
Despite the controversy around its origin, the coin has gained legendary status among serious collectors due to:
-
Its unlisted status in official coin catalogues,
-
The early date (1990) — far before Ambedkar’s official commemorative coins were released,
-
And its appearance in physical circulation, further deepening the mystery.
This example is in circulated but excellent condition, making it a fascinating item for collectors of numismatic oddities, unreleased issues, or Ambedkar memorabilia.
