This is a Rs 5 commemorative coin honouring Begum Akhtar, presented in a sealed blister pack. Commemorative issues like this are struck to mark a notable figure, and they sit in a different collecting category from everyday circulating coins.
Collectors seek commemoratives such as the Begum Akhtar Rs 5 because sealed, well-presented examples in original packaging are the ones that hold interest over time. Presentation matters as much as the coin itself here: a piece still sealed in its blister pack typically stands above a loose, handled coin. As with any collectible, the value shifts with grade, packaging and demand rather than any single set figure.
