Discussion: Hyderabad sets 2013: Round III - Page 6 Coin Design

[dheer]

Like the analysis for the Round II series, I can't help but look at page 6 designs on this series.

As part of Series 3, the Hyderabad Mint for the first time introduced some 2 coin UNC set with * mint mark and quite a few Single Coin Sets ... this post discusses the page 6 coin designs on these sets.

The RBI Single coin sets has images of the Circulation coins issued by respective Mints. IE in recent times, the RBI is the only circulation commemorative issue that was issued by only one mint for each denomination, the Rs 1 was from Hyderabad, the Rs 2 from Kolkata, the Rs 5 from Mumbai and the Rs 10 from Noida.

Unlike the previous issue on Commonwealth games where only one image was used and colored steel and golden, they used the images of circulation strikes by respective mints, instead of the good UNC Strikes from Mumbai mint. Maybe the Hyderabad Mint has to still figure out all the finer details that go into a package.

The mystery deepens for coins of Civil Aviation, ICMR and CAG.
Here there were circulation strikes available from Hyderabad mint for all the 3. However the mint choose to use images of Mumbai Mint for CAG, a horrible Hyderabad mint for Civil Aviation and Kolkata Mint for ICMR.

It is to be noted that for Civil Aviation, ICMR and CAG there was nice art work [logo] released. This would have looked much more elegant on the page 6 design, instead of such coin images that do not really gel into the background of the design.

What are page 6 designs?

oops, the design on next to the Reverse image ... not sure why I call them page 6 I count the outer cover as 1, the inner cover as 2, back of inner cover as 3, obverse as 4, reverse as 5, next 6, back of inner cover as 7, outer cover as 8.

Hi Dheer

There is an interesting observation regarding the RBI Platinum Jubilee coins. Hyderabad mint added a 'Halant' (Dash) below the Hindi alphabet M in the Hindi word Platinum on the RBI coins. This is not present on the RBI coins issued by other mints. Interestingly this Halant was added only to Rs 2, Rs 5, Rs10 and Rs 75 coins. It is not present on Re 1 coin.

This shows that they might have borrowed the images from other mints but they made their own designs.

BTW its page 5 not page 6.

I also noticed that the mint has inverted the image of the plane on the cover of Civil Aviation coin set       

I am uploading a close up of the Air India logo

I hope dealer bhai logs dont start selling Civil Aviation Hyderabad coins as 'Ulte Hawai Jahaj Waala Error'

Nice Catch. Interestingly mine 2 Coin UNC set of Hyderabad Mint does not have the Halant on Rs 10 coin, but present on the Silver Coin.
Putting a Halant means a new Plaster was cast and new Masters were made !!

By the time the photographer set up his mirror &the camera, the plane flew away        

What are page 6 designs?

Has Dheer multiplied Page 3 by two to get the double impact

just to confirm....the halant is om the pictures of the coins but not the coins themselves right ?

No dear, the halant is not on the pics but on coins..
