1980 “Rural Women’s Advancement” Proof Set with Original Box

The 1980 “Rural Women’s Advancement” Proof Set with Original Box was issued by the Bombay Mint on 1 January 1981 as part of India’s development-oriented commemorative coin series. The complete proof set contains four coins – ₹100 (35 g), ₹10 (25 g), 25 Paise (2.5 g), and 10 Paise (2.3 g), all struck in proof quality with mirror-like fields and sharp details. The theme honored the vital role of rural women in agriculture, family welfare, and national development. Only about 2,571 four-coin proof sets were sold by the mint, making it one of the scarcer Indian proof sets of the period.
