₹1,000 and ₹100 Commemorative Coins to be Released by Government
The Indian government is releasing special coins to celebrate important events.
One coin is worth ₹1,000 and remembers a king's sea journey from 1,000 years ago.
The other coin is worth ₹100 and honors a respected Jain leader.
Both coins are made of silver and are the same size.
Even though they are money, you can't use them in regular stores like other coins.
They are meant to be keepsakes and can be bought from specific places.
The Indian government will release two commemorative coins: ₹1,000 and ₹100.
The ₹1,000 coin commemorates 1,000 years of Rajendra Chola I's naval expedition.
The ₹100 coin honors the 105th birth anniversary of Acharya Shri Mahapragya.
Both coins will be made of pure silver and have a diameter of 44 mm.
Commemorative coins are legal tender but not for general circulation.
