The Govt of India will be issuing a ₹100 coin on the occasion of the Birth Centenary of Mohammed Rafi. The gazette notification is awaited although it has been approved by the Ministry of Finance.

This is a genuine commemoration of a legendary vocal artist after MS Subbulakshmi

Maybe lata mangeshkar is next, but recently the post office issued FDC and stamps to commemorate the centenary of Mukesh

There are loads of artists who deserve commemoration through coins or stamps, hope they get their due

However just launching non circulating commemorative issues are akin to awarding and then keep the fact secret, its plain stupid to say the least

At least a rs. 10 circulating coin should be minted along with the run of the mill half silver coin

I agree! A first ₹20 circulating commemorative is also a good idea.
