Mumbai Mint Opens Bookings for National Archives, Mysore University and Nabakalebara

The India Government Mint, Mumbai, has opened the bookings for the commemorative coins issued to mark the '125 years of National Archives of India', 'Centenary of University of Mysore' and 'Shri Jagannath Nabakalebara'. 

The bookings for these commemorative coins are open for a period of three months, starting from November 17, 2018, and concluding on February 16, 2019. All the three  themes are offered in Proof and Uncirculated (UNC) Sets, packaged in a Folder or Blister pack. 

The Proof Coin Sets for the National Archives of India and the Centenary of the University of Mysore are priced at ₹3,975 each, while their corresponding UNC Sets are available for ₹3,135.

In contrast, the Proof Set for Shri Jagannath Nabakalebara carries a higher price of ₹4,295, with the UNC Set priced at ₹3,540. 

The Nabakalebara carries ₹1000 commemorative coin which is struck in 80% silver—significantly higher in intrinsic value compared to the usual Quaternary Alloy composition used for standard commemorative issues. The elevated silver content not only enhances the coin’s numismatic appeal but also contributes to the premium pricing of the set.

These coin sets can be purchased either at the mint premises or through the official website of the India Government Mint, with updates available in the current and upcoming bookings section.
