| Additional information |
Sri Satya Pramoda Teertha Swamiji served as the 33rd pontiff of the Uttaradi Math, a Madhva Vaishnava institution headquartered in Bengaluru tracing its lineage to the 13th-century philosopher Madhvacharya. The denomination of 108 rupees is not arbitrary — 108 is a sacred number in Hindu tradition, appearing in the count of Upanishads, the beads of a mala, and the epithets of major deities. India has issued commemorative coins in this denomination specifically for religious and spiritual figures since the late 2000s.
.9999 fine silver at this weight places it firmly in the bullion-commemorative category rather than anything intended for circulation.
