2 Rupees Platinum Jubilee of RBI

The Reserve Bank of India was established in 1935 under the Reserve Bank of India Act of 1934, modeled closely on the recommendations of the Hilton Young Commission of 1926. Its founding transferred monetary authority away from the colonial government, a shift that became structurally significant well before Independence. This commemorative marks the institution's 75th year — a relatively rare occasion for the RBI to appear on circulating coinage rather than in a purely administrative role.
