This is a circulated commemorative 5 Rupees coin from the Republic of India, issued to celebrate the birth centenary of Swami Sivananda. Please note that the dates on the coin show “1910-2010”, which is incorrect for Swami Sivananda’s birth centenary. His birth year was 1887, and the centenary was observed in 1987. This coin likely commemorates another individual with a birth centenary spanning 1910-2010.

Based on the dates shown (1910-2010), this coin likely commemorates the birth centenary of Mother Teresa.
