New Commemorative Coin: 75 Years of Supreme Court of India

The Government of India will issue a commemorative coin with a denomination of ₹75 to celebrate the '75 Years of Supreme Court of India'. The Ministry of Finance issued a gazette notification on July 11, 2024, confirming this coin.

The Supreme Court of India, as the highest judicial authority in the Republic of India, serves as the final court of appeal for all civil and criminal cases in the country. In celebration of its 75th anniversary, the Supreme Court is organising a Special Lok Adalat from July 29 to August 3, 2024, to facilitate the amicable settlement of suitable pending cases.

The metal composition of the ₹75 coin will consist of Pure Silver (99.9%). The coin will weigh 40 grams and have a diameter of 44 mm, featuring 200 serrations along the edge. The coin's description is as follows.

Obverse: The face of the coin shall bear the Lion Capitol of Ashoka Pillar in the center with the legend "सत्यमेव जयते" inscribed below, flanked on the left periphery with the word “भारत” in Devanagari script and on the right periphery with the word “INDIA” in English. It shall also bear the Rupee symbol “₹” and denominational value “75” in the international numerals below the Lion Capitol.

Reverse: The face of the coin shall bear the symbolic image of Ashoka Chakra, building of Supreme Court of India and a book. “75 Years”, “यतो धर्मस्ततो जय:” and the year “2024” in international numerals shall be written below the image. The inscription “सर्वोच्च न्यायालय, भारत” shall be written in Devanagari script on the upper periphery of the coin and the inscription “Supreme Court of India” in English shall be depicted on the lower periphery of the coin.

In 1999, ₹50 and ₹2 coins were issued to celebrate the 'Golden Jubilee of the Supreme Court of India'. The repetition of themes has reduced the interest of collectors, and the increased prices will further influence collectors to choose specific themes. The possibility of this commemorative coin was mentioned on this blog on June 26, 2024.
