India 50 rupees Conservation Tiger Project Fauna SP68 PCGS silver coin 2023

This India 50 Rupees silver commemorative coin was issued in 2023 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Project Tiger, India’s landmark wildlife conservation initiative launched in 1973 to protect the Bengal tiger and preserve the country’s rich biodiversity.

The reverse showcases a magnificent portrait of a Bengal tiger in profile, facing right. The design captures remarkable detail, including the tiger’s alert eye, striped fur pattern, ears, whiskers, muzzle, jawline, and powerful neck. Encircling the portrait are bilingual inscriptions commemorating “50 Years of Project Tiger,” along with the anniversary dates 1973–2023 and decorative star separators. The obverse features the Lion Capital of Ashoka, India’s national emblem, above the denomination ₹50, accompanied by the inscriptions “INDIA” and “भारत” and the national motto “Satyameva Jayate.” The smooth fields and sharp relief create an impressive presentation that emphasizes both artistry and symbolism.

Struck in silver and certified PCGS SP68, this coin combines environmental significance with exceptional numismatic appeal. Its modern design, conservation theme, and high-grade certification make it a standout collectible for enthusiasts of wildlife, fauna, endangered species, ecology, and contemporary Indian commemorative coinage.
