Indian Coin Values by Denomination

One page per coin, with what the reference catalogue records for it — by year, by mint and by grade. Across the denomination pages the catalogue covers 1,560 varieties, of which 855 carry a reference price.

That gap is the most useful thing on this page. For most circulating denominations the catalogue lists no value at all, which is its way of saying the coin trades at or near face value. The priced column tells you, before you click, whether there is a number to find.

Coins by year

Most people look up the date stamped on the coin in their hand rather than a range of years. These pages take one year at a time and list every variety struck that year with its mint, rarity, weight and diameter, so a scale and a ruler are enough to identify it.

Commemorative coins by subject

Most people do not look up a denomination. They look up whatever is written on the coin in their hand — a name, a temple, an anniversary. These pages are organised that way, and each one lists every catalogued variety of that issue with the catalogue’s own figure beside it.

Commemorative coinage by denomination

Struck for an event, an anniversary or a person, and mostly sold in mint sets rather than released into circulation. This is where the catalogue puts nearly all of its prices.

How to use these pages

  1. Find your coin — by the name written on it if it is a commemorative, by denomination if it is not.
  2. Read the mint mark under the year: a diamond or dot for Mumbai, a star for Hyderabad, nothing for Kolkata, a solid dot for Noida.
  3. Match year and mint together. Neither identifies a coin on its own.
  4. Judge the condition honestly. Grade moves these figures more than anything else, and a coin from circulation is not an uncirculated coin.

What these pages are not

A catalogue value is a reference for a stated grade. It is not an offer, and it is not what a specific coin will fetch — that depends on demand for that exact piece and on condition, which usually needs to be seen rather than self-assessed.

These pages show what things are typically worth. For the other end of the scale — what the highest-selling coins and notes actually fetched, with dates and a link to every listing — see our record sales, updated daily.
