This 25 Paise coin is a copper-nickel commemorative struck for the IX Asian Games held in Delhi in 1982. It is a favourite among modern Indian commemoratives and turns up in collector grades like AUNC far less often than in worn, circulated condition.
Sports commemoratives from the early 1980s are sought after because they mark a specific national event, and clean, lustrous examples of the smaller denominations are genuinely hard to locate. Some 25 paise Asian Games coins also exist in more than one minor variety, which specialists distinguish by mint mark.
