India 2008 100 rupees KM-370
This specimen was part of lot 2447 in Steve Album Auction 52 (Santa Rosa, CA, May 2025), which sold for $48. The catalog description[1] noted, "INDIA: Republic, 2-coin mint set, 2008(m), struck at the Mumbai Mint, commemorating the 300 Years of Gut-Ta-Gaddi of Shri Guru Granth Sahib, the installment of the Sikh sacred text as the eternal guru, depicting the Golden Temple in Amritsar, including 100 (silver) and 10 rupees, sealed in original booklet with paper sleeve; set of 2 coins." This NCLT was struck at Hyderabad (star mintmark) and Mumbai (diamond or "M" for proofs). A mule exists with "₹ 100" instead of the correct "100". The mule must have been struck later as the "₹" symbol was not introduced until 2010. The set also contained a ten rupees (KM 371). As of July 2025, 100 rupees = US$1.166.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
