This post gives the details of UNC Set. For Proof Set, refer to the Previous Post.
In the Year 2002 a commemorative Proof Set and UNC Set was issued with the theme Sant Tukaram. There was no occasion for the release, with the NDA's rule in the Center, it was more of Maharashtra's Shiv Sena wanting their leaders to be commemorated.
The details of the Coins are;
Sant Tukaram (1608–1650) was a prominent Varkari Sant and spiritual poet during a Bhakti movement in India.
Sant Tukaram was born and lived most of his life in Dehu, a town close to Pune city. Through a tradition in India in bygone days, Tukaram's family name is rarely used in identifying him. His real name is Tukaram Vhilhoba Aambe. Rather, in accord with another tradition in India of assigning the epithet "sant" to persons regarded as thoroughly saintly, and is more popularly know as Sant Tukaram
Scholars assign various birth years to Sant Tukaram: 1577, 1598, 1608and 1609 CE. The year of Sant Tukaram's death —1650 CE— is much more certain.
Sant Tukaram was a devotee of god Vitthala or Vithoba, a form of God Krishna.
Sant Tukaram is considered as the climactic point of the Bhagabata Hindu tradition, which is thought to have begun in Maharashtra with Namdev. Dnyaneshwar, Namdev, Janabai, Eknath, and Tukaram are revered especially in the Varkari sect in Maharashtra. Whatever information about the lives of the above saints of Maharashtra comes mostly from the works Bhakti-Wijay and Bhakti-Leelāmrut of Mahipati. Mahipati was born 65 years after the death of Tukaram
