1999 - Saint Dnyaneshwar - UNC Set and Collectors Pack

This post gives details of UNC Set. For details about Proof Set please refer to previous post.

In the year 1999 a proof set, UNC Set and Collectors pack were issued in commemoration of Saint Dnyaneshwar. There was no specific occasion for the issue, this was more in line with the ruling NDA's Shiv Sena party wanting to commemorate their leaders.
The details are;

Dnyāneshwar or Jñāneshwar (1275–1296) also known as Jñanadeva was a 13th century Maharashtrian Hindu saint (Sant - a title by which he is often referred), poet, philosopher and yogi of the Nath tradition whose works Bhavartha deepika teeka (a commentary on Bhagavad Gita, popularly known as "Dnyaneshwari"), and Amrutanubhav are considered to be milestones in Marathi literature.
Dnyaneshwar was probably introduced into the Vaishnava Sampradaya (or Vitthala Sampradaya) of Pandharpur (founder of the Varkari movement), influenced by the piety of contemporary members of the movement such as Namdev, Gora Kumbhar, Savta Mali, Janabai, Narhari Sonar, Chokha Mahar and Sena Nhavi, after his writing of Dnyaneshwari. The Varkaris soon considered him their teacher and spiritual leader, who initiated his contemporaries associated with the Dvaita (dualism) school of the bhakti movement into Advaita (non-dualism). He strongly advocated jnana yukta bhakti (devotion guided by knowledge) and believed that one can not be liberated unless one attains the true and divine knowledge of Brahman.

There was no specific occasion in the year 1999, but the release of commemorative is another example of ruling NDA’s partner Shiv Sena wanting more commemoratives after their leaders.

This Post gives the details of UNC Set. For Proof set refer to the previous Post

In the year 1999 a commemorative Proof set and 3 UNC Set were released with theme "Chhatrapathi Shivaji". There was no special occassion for this, it was mostly issued as the ruling NDA that had Shiv Sena party wanted to commemorate their leaders.
The details are;

Shivaji Bhosle (19 February 1630 – 3 April 1680), with the royal title Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was a Maratha aristocrat of the Bhosle clan who founded the Maratha empire.
Shivaji led a resistance to free the Maratha kingdom from the Sultanate of Bijapur, and establish Hindavi Swarajya ("self-rule of Hindu people"). He created an independent Maratha kingdom with Raigad as its capital, and successfully fought against the Mughals to defend his kingdom. He was crowned as Chhatrapati - the Sovereign- of the Maratha Kingdom in 1674.
He achieved the re-establishment of Hindu rule on their homeland after being ruled and dominated by various Muslim dynasties for a few hundred years. He established a competent and progressive civil rule with the help of a well-regulated and disciplined military and well-structured administrative organizations. The prevalent practices of treating women as spoils of war, destruction of religious monuments, slavery and forceful religious conversions were firmly opposed under his administration. He also innovated rules of military engagement of that era, pioneering the "Shiva sutra" or Ganimi Kava (guerrilla tactics), which leveraged strategic factors like geography, speed, surprise and focused pinpoint attacks to defeat his larger and more powerful enemies and built many sea-forts.

Shiv-Sena being an ardent supporter of Chatrapati Shivaji Mahraj may have caused this issue of this coin as there was no reason for the issue.
