India 10 rupees Federal Bank Palm Tree Tiger Fauna PR68 PCGS CuNi coin 1985

The India 10 rupees “Reserve Bank of India Golden Jubilee” commemorative coin issued in 1985 honors the 50th anniversary of India’s central banking authority, established in 1935. Struck in copper-nickel and certified PR68 Deep Cameo by PCGS, this proof issue stands out for its exceptional mirrored surfaces, frosted relief, and sharp design details. Combining themes of finance, wildlife, and national identity, the coin is an impressive addition to any collection of modern Indian numismatics.

The obverse displays the Lion Capital of Ashoka, India’s national emblem, positioned above the denomination “10 Rupees.” Hindi and English inscriptions curve elegantly around the design, while the proof finish creates strong contrast between the reflective background and raised devices. The reverse features the iconic Reserve Bank of India emblem: a powerful tiger walking beneath a flourishing palm tree. Around the image are bilingual inscriptions reading “Reserve Bank of India” and “Golden Jubilee,” along with the commemorative dates “1935–85.” The tiger symbolizes strength, vigilance, and confidence, while the palm tree reflects prosperity and growth, creating a memorable and symbolic composition.

Founded during the colonial period and continuing after independence, the Reserve Bank of India became the backbone of the nation’s monetary and financial system. This anniversary coin celebrates five decades of economic stewardship and institutional development. Certified by PCGS in superb PR68DCAM condition, this attractive commemorative issue is highly desirable for collectors interested in banking history, fauna motifs, and high-grade proof coinage from India.
