| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 525th birth anniversary of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the 15th-century Bengali Vaishnava saint whose devotional movement reshaped Hindu practice across Bengal and Odisha. The commemorative was part of a broader Indian government program producing bimetallic ten-rupee pieces honoring religious and cultural figures — a series that grew so prolifically in the 2010s that many issues saw negligible circulation, going directly into collector sets or sitting unspent in bank vaults.
Chaitanya's birth year is traditionally given as 1486 in Nabadwip, present-day West Bengal.
