| Additional information |
The Reserve Bank of India was established in 1935 under the Reserve Bank of India Act of 1934, modeled partly on the recommendations of the Hilton Young Commission and initially privately owned before nationalization in 1949. The platinum jubilee issue marks 75 years of central banking operations that spanned the partition of British India, the absorption of the princely states' monetary systems, and repeated foreign exchange crises.
Bimetallic rupee coinage was introduced in India during the 1990s reforms period, and by 2010 the format was well established for commemorative issues from the Noida and Mumbai mints.
