Have you seen the new 100 rupee coin?

The Rs. 1, 2, 5, 10, and 20 coins have previously been seen by all of us, but the government will soon release the Rs. 100 coin into the Indian market. The Indian 20 rupee coin, which will be available in a few days, was the largest denomination of circulation currency ever produced.

The 100th episode of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's radio show, Mann Ki Baat, is about to end. In honour of the 100th episode of Mann Ki Baat, a new Rs 100 coin will be made. According to an official statement from the Ministry of Finance, the 100-rupee coin would only be minted at the Mint for issuance with the Central Government's approval.

When will 100 rupee coins start to appear on the market? On April 30, which also marks the 100th broadcast of the radio show Maan Ki Baat, the government will issue a commemorative coin. The value of the coin is one hundred rupees. Even though commemorative coins are recognised as legal currency, they are seldom widely dispersed. They are accessible via the companies mentioned.

What are the details of the 100 rupee coin? The currency would be unique among existing Rs 1, 2, 10, etc. coins, the Finance Ministry said in a statement. It will have 200 serrations, a 44-mm diameter, and be rounded. The 35-gramme coin's metal composition will be a quaternary alloy made up of 50% silver, 40% copper, 5% nickel, and 5% zinc. "Satyamev Jayate" will be written underneath the Lion Capitol of Ashoka Pillar on the coin's obverse face. The word "Bharat" will be written on the left perimeter in Devnagri script, and the word "India" will be placed on the right periphery in English.

The denominational value "100" and the rupee sign "" must also be displayed in international numerals. The word "2023" and the logo for the "100th Episode of Mann Ki Baat," which features an image of a microphone and sound waves, will be printed on the back of the coin. Below the microphone image and above Mann Ki Baat 100 are, respectively, Devnagri and English text.
