PM Modi Unveils ₹100 Coin Featuring Bharat Mata at RSS Event
Prime Minister Narendra Modi released a special ₹100 coin at an RSS event on Tuesday. For the first time, an Indian coin carries the image of Bharat Mata. This launch is being called a historic moment in Indian currency.
Why the Coin is Special
Until now, Indian notes and coins carried pictures of leaders, the Lion Capital of Ashoka, or other national symbols. This is the first time Bharat Mata appears on currency. The coin is commemorative, which means people will not use it in daily transactions. Instead, it will hold cultural and collectible value.
Design Details of the ₹100 Coin
-
Front side: Lion Capital of Ashoka with “Satyamev Jayate.”
-
Back side: Bharat Mata holding the Indian flag, standing tall as a symbol of unity.
-
Build: Made with a special alloy, heavier and bigger than normal coins.
PM Modi’s Message
During the event, PM Modi said the coin is more than just money. He explained that Bharat Mata represents the soul of the nation. By featuring her on currency, people can feel a stronger emotional connection with India.
Why This Matters

Bharat Mata appears on Indian currency for the first time.

-
Collectors and patriots will value it as a historic piece.
Reactions
