Jallianwala Bagh Massacre Coin Sets at Kolkata Mint Counter

The India Government Mint, Kolkata, has commenced the issuance of the ₹100 coin, released on the occasion of the 'Centenary of Jallianwala Bagh Massacre,' at the Mint's counter sale premises, as confirmed by the well-known numismatist Mr. Sanjay Kansal.

On April 13th, 2019, the Vice President of India, Shri M. Venkaiah Naidu, visited Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar to pay tributes to the martyrs on the 100th anniversary and released the commemorative coin along with the postage stamp.

It has been observed that the Kolkata Mint has released the coin in various types of packaging. Additionally, it has come to attention that the coin is labeled as "commiserative" and not "commemorative." Commemorative coins are usually crafted to honour and celebrate historical events, whereas the term "commiserative" denotes a form of remembrance associated with somber or sorrowful events.
