5 RUPEES 150TH ANNIVERSARY OF MADAN MOHAN MALVIYA 1851-2011 WITH “M” MINT MARK
something different about the Mumbai Mint mark, which is displayed prominently below the inscription on the bottom of this face of the coin. The Mumbai Mint has made a departure from its usual “diamond” mint mark and given an “M” mint mark, usually reserved for Proof coins issued by the Mumbai Mint. Intentional or is it a minting oversight?
