1992 – LAND-VITAL RESOURCE
The rarest coin issued by the Republic of India , as far as I know, is a 2 Rupee coin issued in 1992 by the Calcutta Mint to commemorate 'Land Vital Resource'. The coin is minted in Copper Nickel Alloy. The mintage of this coin is assumed to be less than 500. The Krause does not mention this coin.
However, one can find this coin listed in the commemoratives issued by the Calcutta Mint in its official website. It was issued as part of awareness campaign for conservation and promotion of scientific management of land resources. The coin was released by the then Honourable Minister for Agriculture, Mr.Sharad Pawar on 18-11-1992 during the National Resources Conservation Week which falls from 15th November to 21st of November.
This coin is one of the rarest coins issued by the Republic of India. The mintage of this coin is assumed to be less than 500.
