The Indian Government has released commemorative coins and postage stamps to mark the centenary (100 years) of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), celebrating its legacy of service, unity, and socio-cultural influence in India.
Coin Features and Price
A special Rs 100 coin was unveiled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Oct. 1, 2025 at the Dr. Ambedkar International Centre, New Delhi. This historic coin holds deep patriotic significance: it is minted in pure silver and, for the first time in Indian currency history, features the image of Bharat Mata (Mother India) in Varad Mudra, flanked by three RSS volunteers saluting her, symbolising reverence and national devotion.
