Originally issued in 2002, 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.

Sant Tukaram (1577–1650) was a prominent Varkari Sant and spiritual poet of the Bhakti. He is often referred to with an honorific, Sant Tukaram. Sant Tukaram was a devotee of Vitthala or Vithoba, a form of God Vishnu.
