Error 5 Rupee Misprint Blank Year 2013 Error Noida Mint Republic India Coin# A182

Description

Rare Republic India 1 Rupee coin from the modern definitive series, offered in heavily circulated condition. The emblem side carries the Lion Capital of Ashoka with the traces of "भारत" and "INDIA" flanking it and "सत्यमेव जयते" below. The value side is smoothed almost flat by wear, so the date and the mint mark below it cannot be read, and the mint is therefore not attributed here.
