| Additional information |
The Andaman and Nicobar Islands operate under a curious administrative arrangement that allows for the issue of local coinage valid only within the Union Territory — these pieces circulate on the islands but hold no legal tender status on the Indian mainland. The 2011 bimetallic series was produced in limited quantities, and surviving examples are rarely found in circulation grades simply because the local economy on the islands is small and tourist acquisition pulls coins out of circulation quickly.
