The 1 Rupee coin of 1986 was part of the Indian coin series issued during the time when the country transitioned to smaller denominations made of cupro-nickel (a mix of copper and nickel). It features the Lion Capital of Ashoka on one side, representing India’s national emblem, with “Satyameva Jayate” inscribed below. The denomination “1 Rupee” and the year “1986” appear on the reverse, along with wheat ears, symbolizing agriculture and progress. This coin is notable as it marks India’s early modern coinage period. It is one of the rarest mint coin by government of India.
