This exquisite 2-coin proof set commemorates the Birth Centenary of Mother Teresa (1910-2010), issued by the Government of India to honor the life and humanitarian legacy of the Nobel Peace Prize laureate known as the "Saint of the Gutters." Struck at the prestigious Kolkata (Alipore) Mint, this official commemorative set includes a Rs. 5 coin in cupro-nickel and a Rs. 100 coin, both featuring detailed proof-quality strikes that showcase exceptional clarity and mirror-like finish.
Mother Teresa dedicated her life to serving Kolkata's poorest and sick, founding the Missionaries of Charity in 1950. This coin set was released in 2010 to mark a century since her birth, celebrating her enduring global impact on charity and compassion.
Crafted with precision minting techniques, this proof set represents superior numismatic quality compared to standard circulation coins. Its historical significance, limited mintage, and connection to an iconic humanitarian figure make it highly sought after by coin collectors, numismatists, and admirers of Mother Teresa's legacy. A perfect addition to any serious collection or thoughtful commemorative gift.
