Description

Celebrate India’s nationalist and economic legacy with the 5 Rupees Commemorative Coin (Dadabhai Naoroji, 2002). Issued by the Government of India, this coin honors Dadabhai Naoroji (1825–1917), known as the Grand Old Man of India, who was a pioneering nationalist leader, social reformer, and the first Indian elected to the British Parliament. He is remembered for his “Drain of Wealth” theory, which exposed the economic exploitation of India under colonial rule.

Minted in cupro‑nickel, the coin features the Ashoka Lion Capitol on the obverse and a portrait of Dadabhai Naoroji with inscriptions on the reverse. It is a prized collectible for numismatists, historians, and admirers of India’s freedom struggle.
