10 Rupees Food Shelter for All 1978 Unc Copper Nickel Coin

This exceptional 10 Rupees copper-nickel coin commemorates India’s “Food Shelter for All” initiative from 1978, representing a pivotal moment in the nation’s social welfare history. Struck in uncirculated condition, this piece showcases pristine original lustre and sharp detail across both obverse and reverse. The coin’s composition of copper-nickel alloy reflects India’s post-independence coinage standards, making it a tangible artifact of late 20th-century Indian numismatics. Collectors prize this issue for its historical significance and rarity in high grades—uncirculated examples are increasingly difficult to locate. The “Food Shelter for All” theme resonates with collectors interested in commemorative pieces that document India’s developmental priorities. Its exceptional preservation, combined with the commemorative nature and declining availability, makes this an essential addition to any Indian coin collection or investment portfolio focused on vintage Asian numismatics.
