India has notified vide gazette notification 303 dated April 26, 2022 that it will issue a 100 Rupees coin on birth Centenary of Jawaharlal Darda. He was a veteran Indian freedom fighter and was the Founder Editor of Lokmat group of newspapers (now Lokmat Media). On 12 September 2013, Jawaharlal Darda was  posthumously conferred a Lifetime Achievement Award at UK's House of Commons.

Thanks for sharing. Here's a draft design. Maybe the coin will be issued in July 2022 or July 2023?

Wonder when this coin will be actually dedicated and made available for purchase. Couple of months back there was an event where India's Home minister participated and there were vague mentions of a coin issuance but I could never find any relevant images for the coin release.

As indicated earlier, They seem to have self released (without sale) the coin and stamp, through the newspaper ad released one the 100th birthday
