2016 150th Anniversary of Allahabad High Court – ₹150 Silver Proof Coin

A prestigious Indian commemorative proof coin issued in 2016 to mark the 150th Anniversary of the Allahabad High Court, one of India's historic High Courts. The commemorative issue celebrates the Court's establishment and its long-standing contribution to India's judicial history.

The ₹150 Proof Coin is struck in a 50% silver quaternary alloy, comprising 50% silver, 40% copper, 5% nickel and 5% zinc. It weighs 35 grams, measures 44 mm in diameter and has 200 serrations. These specifications are prescribed in the Government of India's official coinage notification.

The obverse features the Lion Capital of Ashoka, with the denomination ₹150, while the reverse depicts the central façade of the Allahabad High Court Building emerging from a book, accompanied by the inscription “150th ANNIVERSARY OF ALLAHABAD HIGH COURT” and the commemorative years 1866–2016.

The coin forms part of the 2016 Allahabad High Court 150th Anniversary commemorative issue, which also included a ₹5 coin. The ₹150 silver proof is particularly attractive to collectors of Indian commemorative silver coins, judicial-history memorabilia and modern Indian proof coins.
