2014 125th Birth Anniversary of Jawaharlal Nehru Proof Coin Set

Issued in 2014 by the Government of India to commemorate the 125th Birth Anniversary of Jawaharlal Nehru, this distinguished proof coin set honors one of the principal architects of modern India. A prominent leader of the Indian independence movement and the nation's first Prime Minister, Nehru played a pivotal role in shaping India's democratic institutions, scientific development, and foreign policy.

The proof set comprises ₹125 and ₹5 commemorative coins, struck at the Mumbai Mint with a superior mirror-like proof finish and frosted relief. The reverse design features a portrait of Jawaharlal Nehru along with inscriptions marking his 125th birth anniversary. The unique ₹125 denomination was specially introduced for this commemorative issue, making it particularly attractive to collectors. Issued in limited quantities exclusively for numismatists, the set is highly sought after for its historical importance, elegant design, and association with one of India's most influential statesmen. It remains a significant addition to collections of modern Indian commemorative proof coin sets.
