RBI PouchShri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board Coin Value (2012)
The Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board commemorative was struck in 2012 in 10 Rupees and 5 Rupees. The reference catalogue lists 8 catalogued varieties of it, and this is what it records.
What the catalogue says it is worth
Of the 8 catalogued varieties, 8 carry a reference price, running ₹30 to ₹150 in uncirculated condition.
Read those figures before anything else. The numbers circulating online for this coin are not what the catalogue records, and no dealer works from them.
Every catalogued variety, by grade
Struck in bi-metal and nickel – brass. Prices below are the catalogue’s, per grade.

How to read the mint mark
This issue came from Bombay (Mumbai Mint), Calcutta (Kolkatta Mint), Hyderabad Mint, Noida 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.
Where this leaves you
If you are holding one, compare it against the table above by year and mint, and judge the condition strictly. Every other denomination is catalogued here, and if you decide to part with it, this explains how selling actually works.
