Mumbai Mint Begins Bookings for PMSMA Coin Sets

Image
The India Government Mint, Mumbai has started the bookings for the ₹75  commemorative coin issued to mark the 10 Years of Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritva Abhiyan (PMSMA) . The bookings are open from today, June 9, 2026, and are subject to limited availability. Earlier today, the Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare, Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda, released the commemorative coin and a postage stamp to mark the occasion in New Delhi. The ₹75 coin is currently available in a Proof Set presented in a booklet package, priced at ₹1,700.  This ₹75 coin marks the fifth nickel silver commemorative coin issued and the first-ever ₹75 denomination struck in this base-metal composition.

The coins were never intended to depict raindrops; rather, they were designed to showcase India's agricultural strength through the depiction of grains. The 2019 definitive series marked one of the most significant redesigns of India's circulating coinage in recent years, comprising the ₹1, ₹2, ₹5, ₹10, and ₹20 denominations. Besides introducing the country's first circulating dodecagonal bi-metallic ₹20 coin, the series was designed to be more accessible to visually impaired individuals through distinct sizes, weights, and edge patterns, making each denom...
