1999 India 25 Paise Rhino KM 54 Ferritic Stainless Steel Coin
This 1999 India 25 Paise circulation coin features the iconic Great Indian One-Horned Rhinoceros on the reverse, a design minted between 1988 and 2002 to promote wildlife conservation. Struck in ferritic stainless steel, this coin displays the year 1999 above the rhinoceros and includes a diamond mint mark below the date, signifying it was produced at the Mumbai (Bombay) Mint. The obverse showcases the Lion Capital of Ashoka with the denomination 25 and the word Paise inscribed in both Hindi and English. This KM 54 variety is a durable stainless steel issue known for its magnetic properties and serves as a classic example of Indian numismatics from the late 20th century.
