LOUIS BRAILLE -1809-2009 KOLKATA MINT 2 COINS ((UNC SET))

This is a Louis Braille Commemorative 2-Coin UNC Set, issued in 2009 by the Government of India to mark the 200th birth anniversary (1809–2009) of Louis Braille, the visionary Frenchman who invented the Braille script for the blind and visually impaired. Struck at the prestigious Kolkata Mint, one of India's oldest and most respected minting facilities, this set carries historical and humanitarian significance, honoring Braille's contribution to education and empowerment worldwide. The coins are preserved in Uncirculated (UNC) condition, meaning they have never been in public circulation and retain their original mint luster, sharp strike details, and pristine surfaces—qualities highly valued by numismatists. As a commemorative issue, this set was minted in limited quantities, making it a scarce find for collectors of Indian coinage and thematic collections related to disability awareness, education, and global humanitarian figures. Owning this set offers collectors a piece of numismatic history that blends social significance with minting craftsmanship. Its Kolkata Mint origin, UNC grade, and commemorative theme make it an excellent addition to any serious or beginner collection, and a meaningful gift for those interested in world history, coin collecting, or the legacy of Louis Braille.
