Not a fan myself. Think the resurrection of the Indian sovereign is just a fad.

India’s first ever national gold coin is engraved with the emblem of Ashok Chakra on one side and the face of Mahatma Gandhi on the other. These features make it a treasured possession and also a hallmark of respect. The tamperproof packaging and advanced anti-counterfeit features on the coin cover make s it very safe and easily recyclable.

Interesting feature to mention for a collectable, but very commendable nonetheless.

Is the Ghandi one a coin if it has no value as currency and is sold by weight e.g. a 5g and 10g one?
