This exceptional 1 Rupee coin commemorates Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister, and was minted in 1989 by the prestigious Bombay Mint (now Mumbai Mint). Crafted from copper-nickel alloy, this commemorative piece weighs 6 grams and measures 26mm in diameter, making it a substantial and satisfying addition to any numismatic collection.

The obverse features a dignified right-facing portrait of Nehru with inscriptions and the year of issue, while the reverse displays the iconic Ashok Chakra alongside the denomination—symbols deeply rooted in Indian heritage and national identity. Graded in Very Fine condition, this coin shows modest circulation wear consistent with its age and use, preserving authentic character while maintaining excellent legibility and detail.

Numismatically significant, this piece represents an important era in independent India’s currency history. As a commemorative issue honoring one of India’s most influential statesmen, it holds considerable appeal for historians, political enthusiasts, and serious coin collectors. The combination of historical importance, limited mintage, and preserved condition makes this a worthwhile investment piece that bridges numismatic and historical value.
