When does Indian Government Mint or Reserve Bank of India issues Sister Alphonsa Commemorative Coins? I am insterested in this commemorative coin issue, so Please tell me How I can order this coins from Indian Government Mint or Reserve Bank of India? Or what coin dealers will sell this coins?
Please let me know where I can get the commemorative coins of St.Alphonsa ? If at RBI, what is the denomination it is issued ? From when will it be available ? Who should be contacted in this regard? Is there any last date ?
Generally coins that are meant to be released as Commemoratives can be obtained either by
A.) placing an order with the India Government mints at Mumbai (Bombay) or Kolkata (Calcutta) in India.
OR
B.) through coin dealers in India
Generally news items on commemorative coins are made on the day of commemoration, however the mints in India have a delayed schedule (normally 3 / 6 months) after which they invite applications for booking coins.
As on 10 November 2008 Kolkata Mint is accepting booking for 75TH Anniversary of the Indian Airforce. In the recent times Indian Mints have standardized the coin denominations. Usually they issue coins as pairs. Indian Rupees 5 and 100, both in UNC and Proof condition.
We will need to wait for a formal announcement from the Indian Mints to book this coin.
Trust this information helps.
Cheers
Prakash

It looks like these could be hard to acquire since it appears coins are distributed only through regional India banks?
