| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 2600th birth anniversary of Vardhamana Mahavira, the twenty-fourth and final Tirthankara of Jain tradition, this coin was part of a broader series of Indian commemoratives produced through the late 1990s and early 2000s that frequently drew on .500 fine silver — a composition chosen largely for cost management rather than tradition. Mintage was low and distribution was handled primarily through the India Government Mint's philatelic and numismatic division, meaning most examples entered collections directly rather than commerce.
