Originally issued in 2004, I was fortunate enough that the India Government Mint decided to have a re-issue of this special commemorative coin set and opened bookings for the same for a period of two months in April, 2013. Received my ordered set from the mint in January, 2014.

The second prime minister of India, the man who gave us the slogan, 'Jai Jawan Jai Kisan,' the man who led the Republic of India to victory in the 1965 Indo-Pak War and the man who saved the Kutch Peninsula from falling into Pakistani hands.
