REPUBLIC INDIA: Subhash Chandra Bose Centenary (1897–1997), Netajee, 1996 (erroneously issued), Copper-Nickel 2 Rupees, 6.91 g, 26 mm, KM #130.3

This commemorative 2 Rupee coin holds significant value in Indian numismatics due to a dating error. Although the coin is inscribed with the year 1996, it was intended for release in 1997 to commemorate the 100th Birth Anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.

The Calcutta Mint erroneously issued a small batch with the 1996 date before the mistake was realized. Because of this historical anomaly, the coin is in high demand among collectors of Republic India coinage.
