1982 - Rs 2 Asian Games Experimental Coin

The Rs 2 commemorative coin is a 28 mm weighing 8.12 gms with security edge with the theme “IX Asian Games”. 

Identical to the commemorative circulation issued; however two horizontal lines with “EXP. and ”COIN” between them for “EXPERIMENTAL COIN” have been added to both obverse and reverse dies prior to striking. 

The 1982 commemorative 2 Rupees were minted only at Bombay and Calcutta. This experimental coin is said to be produced by the Heaton mint in order to gain approval. 

It was listed recently by KM Numismatics Auction 1, Lot 2 in February 2021 and was realised at 2100 USD.
