1995 - 50th Anniversary of United Nations | Commemorative Coin

The 2nd commemorative coin of 1995 was released to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of United Nations. 

The year 1995 marked the 50th anniversary of the United Nations, an international organization established in 1945 in the aftermath of World War II with the primary objective of promoting peace, security, and cooperation among nations. Over the course of five decades, the UN has grown to become a central forum for addressing global challenges, including conflict resolution, human rights, sustainable development, humanitarian aid, and international law. Its establishment reflected the world’s commitment to preventing future wars and fostering dialogue and collaboration among countries with diverse political, cultural, and economic backgrounds.

The 50th anniversary was celebrated globally as a moment to reflect on the UN’s accomplishments, assess ongoing challenges, and reaffirm the principles of multilateralism and collective action. Events and commemorations highlighted the organization’s role in mediating conflicts, coordinating disaster relief efforts, advancing human rights, and addressing global issues such as poverty, health, education, and environmental protection. The anniversary also underscored the importance of continued reforms and innovations to make the UN more effective and responsive to emerging international crises and complex global problems.

India, as a founding member of the United Nations, participated actively in the anniversary celebrations, reaffirming its commitment to the UN’s goals and principles. The nation recognized the UN’s pivotal role in fostering international cooperation and promoting peace, development, and social justice. Public discussions, seminars, and cultural events organized across India during this period emphasized the significance of multilateral diplomacy, the importance of human rights, and the interconnectedness of nations in achieving sustainable development.

The 50th anniversary of the United Nations in 1995 served as a global reminder of the enduring relevance of multilateral cooperation. It celebrated the UN’s achievements while calling on member states, civil society, and individuals to renew their commitment to a more just, equitable, and peaceful world. Through this milestone, the international community acknowledged that challenges such as conflict, poverty, climate change, and inequality require coordinated global action, and that the principles of the UN remain essential for ensuring stability, security, and prosperity for generations to come.

For many decades, non-circulating coin sets were distinguished by featuring a Silver Alloy coin as the primary denomination, However, after the introduction of Pure Silver coins in 2019, issuing them for almost every alternate theme became the norm through 2024 and 2025. The growing number of themes, combined with the rising price of silver, has made these coins increasingly expensive for collectors.
