1st December 2011
Within a span of one month, 3 new coins of 2011 were issued. Apart from the Income Tax that was released early in year, the second issue was 100 Years of Civil Aviation, the third being 100 years of ICMR [Indian Council of Medical Research] released on 15th November. The last of the release of 2011 being the 150 years of CAG was released on 16th November. This is the 3rd issue that will have a coin of Rs 150/- after the Tagore and Income Tax.
So with 4 issues this year and 2 issues of last year, there looks a lot of backlog that the mint has to cover for bookings of these coins.


25th November 2011
I just noticed that there is some test listing under Kolkata and Hyderabad Mint site. Although nothing can be booked, looks like very soon there would be some issue that would be available for booking. The mints are already way behind with booking due for last year's coins of Temple and Subramaniam.

October 2011
The Second Commemorative Coin for this year is the "100 years of civil Aviation". This was released by President Prathiba Patil on 17th October.

The VIP Coin Set has a Coin of Rs 100 & Rs 5 that was minted by Mumbai Mint. So we can expect that the booking for this would be from Mumbai Mint.

There is still no news on the booking for the Temple or C Subramaniam or Income Tax.


17 August 2010
Re-Booking of 150th Birth Anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore.
The Kolkata Mint has opened rebooking for the Tagore Coins. Those of you who have missed booking this earlier should take the opportunity to rebook the coins.
