Reverse description A facing bust of Jamshetji Nusserwanji Tata occupies the central field, with the dates 1839 and 2014 flanking the portrait to denote his birth and the commemorative year. A bilingual commemorative legend surrounds the bust, inscribed in both Devanagari and Latin scripts along the upper and lower periphery of the coin. The reverse design commemorates the 175th birth anniversary of the pioneering Indian industrialist and founder of the Tata Group. The denomination, which should appear on this face in the standard issue, is absent on this error mule piece.

Additional information

Jamshetji Tata's 175th birth anniversary commemorative was issued in 2014 by the India Government Mint, but a mule error variety exists in which the denomination was omitted entirely — the result of a die pairing mistake during production rather than any design decision. Mule errors of this nature from Indian commemorative issues are genuinely rare in documented form, as the mint's quality control typically catches die mismatches before significant quantities escape.
