New Commemorative Coin: Ol Chiki Script by Pandit Raghunath Murmu

Image
The Government of India will issue a ₹100  commemorative coin  to mark the  100 years of Ol Chiki Script by Pandit Raghunath Murmu . The Ministry of Finance issued a gazette notification on February 9, 2026, confirming this coin. The Ol Chiki script was created by Pandit Raghunath Murmu in 1925 to provide the Santhali language with its own distinct and scientifically designed writing system. It was developed to accurately represent the phonetic structure of Santhali, which earlier scripts failed to capture effectively. Ol Chiki enabled widespread literacy among the Santhal community and became a powerful symbol of cultural identity, self-respect, and linguistic independence. Today, it remains central to Santhali literature, education, and cultural expression. The  metal composition  of the ₹100 coin will consist of a Quaternary Alloy, comprising 50% Silver, 40% Copper, 5% Nickel, and 5% Zinc. The coin will weigh 35 grams and have a diameter of 44 mm, featuring 2...

The Future of Commemorative Coins: When Pricing Destroys Purpose

Image
The commemorative coins are issued to honour an event, a personality, or an important chapter in history. Their purpose is not to sell silver or any other precious metal in the form of a coin. This fundamental distinction must be clearly understood by collectors, authorities, and the public alike. The true value of a commemorative coin lies in its historical, cultural, and symbolic significance, not in the weight or prevailing market price of the metal used to strike it. For this reason, the intrinsic metal value of a commemorative coin should ideally remain limited, preferably around 30 to 40 percent of its issue price. Maintaining such a balance ensures that, even over the years, fluctuations in metal prices do not cause the intrinsic value to exceed the issue price or face value. When the metal value rises disproportionately, the coin risks being perceived merely as bullion rather than as an object of remembrance. When precious metal prices surge, coins with high intrinsic value o...
