| Additional information |
India hosted the IX Asian Games in New Delhi in 1982 — the first time the country had done so since the inaugural 1951 Games, also held in Delhi. The event was a major organisational undertaking under Indira Gandhi's government, and a small series of commemorative circulation coins was issued across multiple denominations to mark it. This 25 paise piece was intended for genuine circulation rather than collector sets, and examples with honest wear are the norm.
