Celebrate two centuries of India's banking heritage with the 2005 State Bank of India (SBI) Bicentenary Proof Set, officially issued by the Government of India to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the State Bank of India (1806–2006), the nation's largest and most trusted banking institution. This prestigious commemorative coin set honors SBI's remarkable journey from its origins as the Bank of Calcutta to becoming a cornerstone of India's financial system.
Struck in premium proof quality, the commemorative coins feature mirror-like surfaces, sharp frosted details, and outstanding mint craftsmanship. The reverse design showcases the iconic SBI logo along with commemorative inscriptions celebrating its bicentenary, while the obverse bears the Ashoka Lion Capital, India's national emblem. The elegant design and historical significance make this proof set a prized collectible among numismatists, banking professionals, and history enthusiasts.
