The Rs 5 RBI 100 Coin Rbi Seal Pack Lot Mule Packet 2017 from the Kolkata Mint is a unique and rare collectible piece that holds significant historical and numismatic value. Issued by the Republic of India in 2017, this 5 Rupees coin features a stunning design with the Ashoka Pillar Lion Capitol on the obverse and the denomination and date below the Rupee symbol on the reverse. Made of nickel brass, weighing 6g, and with a diameter of 23mm, this coin is a standard circulation coin with a round shape and milled edges.

This particular coin is highly sought after by collectors due to its unique mintage at the Kolkata Mint and its rarity as a 2017 Mule issue. The absence of a mint mark signifies its origin at the Calcutta Mint, adding to its desirability among numismatists. The intricate details, including the Lotus sprays and the national motto "The truth shall prevail," further enhance its appeal.

Packaged in a sealed lot mule packet, this coin is a prized addition to any collection, offering both historical significance and potential investment value. Its limited availability and distinctive features make it a must-have for enthusiasts looking to expand their numismatic holdings with a piece of Indian heritage.
