Subash Chandra Bose 1996 Error Coin

The Calcutta mint issued this coin to commemorate Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose centenary coins in 1997, making the above coin a rare one. The date printed as 1996 on the coin is an error. Because Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose was born on 23rd January 1897 and his birth centenary completes in the year 1997 not 1996.This is one of the rare Republic India Commemorative Series Error coin.
The year lettering of 1997 is very Common but 1996 is rare one.



Subhas Chandra Bose, affectionately called as Netaji, was one of the most prominent leaders of Indian freedom struggle. The contribution of Subash Chandra Bose is no less,though Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru have garnered much of the credit for successful culmination of Indian freedom struggle.He founded Indian National Army (Azad Hind Fauj) to overthrow British Empire from India and came to acquire legendary status among Indian masses.
