How to read the mint mark
This issue came from Calcutta (Kolkatta Mint). The mark sits under the year on the coin: a diamond or dot for Mumbai, a star for Hyderabad, nothing at all for Kolkata, a solid dot for Noida. Year and mint together identify a variety; neither does it alone.
What a catalogue figure is, and is not
It is a reference for one variety at one stated grade, not an offer and not a market price. What a specific coin fetches depends on who wants that exact piece on that day, and on a condition assessment that usually has to be seen rather than described. Two coins of the same year and mint can sit two columns apart in the table above.
