125 Birth Anniversary DR. Rajendra Prasad (1884-2009) Kolkata Mint 2 Coin UNC Set

This 2-coin UNC set commemorates the 125th Birth Anniversary of Dr. Rajendra Prasad (1884–2009), independent India’s first President and a towering figure of the freedom movement. Issued by the Government of India in 2009 and struck at the Kolkata Mint, the set includes a ₹100 and ₹5 denomination coin, both in Uncirculated (UNC) condition, showcasing sharp strikes and original mint luster.

Dr. Rajendra Prasad played a pivotal role in drafting India’s Constitution and served as President from 1950 to 1962. This commemorative issue honors his legacy, statesmanship, and contribution to nation-building, making it historically significant beyond its numismatic value.

For collectors, this set holds special appeal due to its limited mintage, thematic relevance, and dual-denomination pairing—an uncommon combination for commemorative series. The Kolkata Mint origin adds provenance value, as mint-specific variations are highly sought after by serious numismatists.

Presented in UNC grade, the coins retain their as-minted brilliance, ideal for long-term preservation and display. This set is a valuable addition for collectors of Republic India commemorative coinage, history enthusiasts, and those building a themed collection around India’s presidential legacy.
