5 Rupees 175th Birth Anniversary of Jamshetji Nusserwanji Tata

Jamshetji Tata founded the Tata Iron and Steel Company in 1907 — two years after his death. He spent the last decade of his life securing land, financing, and technical expertise for a steel plant he never lived to see pour its first heat. The commemorative occasion here is the 175th anniversary of his 1839 birth, marked by India's ongoing practice of issuing five-rupee pieces for industrial and nationalist anniversaries that rarely see meaningful circulation.
